This is what I found to be true.  Now maybe I did it wrong or there is a
better way

 

I actually installed another copy on my HD in another location

Have one for EOD and one for RT data

>From what I can tell the computer Registry though only sees one copy of AB

So when you open up both copies and both data bases you will have both
Broker.exe running       

 

So with that said if you were to do any back testing I think AB can get
confused, especially If you are using Fred's IO I would say that it
definitely gets confused with both open

 

With any back testing I would close one of the AB's and make sure that you
have no "ghost" Broker.exe  running on your computer

Subject: [amibroker] Pro's & Con's of running Multiple Copies of AB?

 

I am thinking about setting up a second copy of AB so that I can have 
a RT runinng and collecting data, and still go to the primary copy and 
work with my EOD databases. Firstly, how do I install a 2nd copy? Just 
point it at a different base directory during install? Secondly, are 
there any problems I can expect with 2 copies running at the same 
time? Can I run scripts in both at same time? Will running auto 
update on one have any effect on other?

Any advice or thoughts from the group will be greatly appreciated.
