Hi,
unfortunately I'm not familiar with the software mentioned but couldn't you simply remove the one you don't want to run?

If it was that simple I would not have posted the question. Please re-read the question.

When the software is installed it creates an entry in system startup & services, I don't know why & i dont know what happens if they are removed, what I do know is regardless of which version I run I always get the installed version, why does this happen if I am running from a different folder & running a different program?

So again I ask what happens if I remove the entries in system startup & services & does that then allow me to run either version.

I do not understand the operating system enough to know why they are registered in services & system startup ( not user startup)

You could try to stop and disable the service(s) or set it/them to manual and test if this gives the intended effect ?

Link Removed

If you have Link Removed installed you can disable the service(s) from there, read Link Removed !

I know I can do this, you can mostly delete/remove/rename anything, but I prefer to find out the ramifications of what I am about to do before I do it.

So, I was expecting somebody who has imtimate knowledge of this part of the operating system to tell me why they are where they are & what are the ramifications (if any be disabling them) before I do so.
