-I installed Unity 5.6.3f1 (and it created a desktop icon).
I then realised that the Unity project I put together, was made in Unity 5.4.1f1 so I also downloaded that version. I think it installed 5.4.1 over 5.6.3’s directory, so I just have 5.4.1 now (which is fine).
But the desktop icon for 5.6.3 is still there, does this mean its still installed or can I delete the 5.6.3 icon? I cant see that version in control, panel, only 5.4.1
-Also, the Unity directory is currently ‘(C: )>Program Files>Unity’ (then inside that is stored the ‘Editor’ and ‘MonoDevelop’ files)
If I was to install the latest Unity 5.x version (5.6.3) as well (so I have 2 Unity versions), would I just create another Unity folder, inside ‘Program Files’, called ‘Unity_5.6.3’ ? And I would select that folder as the Unity download install directory?
So inside ‘Program Files’,there would be ‘Unity’ <(this is the 5.4.1, maybe I can rename it?), and there would also be ‘Unity 5.6.3’ folder.
You can have multiple unity versions installed in parallel. Just put then into different problems. I think I have 5.3.5, 5.6.1 and 2017.1 installed at the moment. I pretty much used Unity-5.3.5, Unity-5.6.1 an Unity-2017.1 folders for them.
They work fine and do not interfere with each other. The only inconvenience is that they all look like “unity” from “run” menu, so you’ll need desktop shortcuts.
Only way to know for certain is to try it out. Some applications don’t care if you rename their installation folders while others, with Visual Studio being an excellent example, won’t function properly until you change them back.
Actually it most likely will break unity’s uninstaller. Then again I think that when you install a new version, uninstaller for hte old one is overwritten by it.
wait so I cannot rename my current ‘Unity’ folder. 9that has v 5.4.1…but if I download another version of unity, e.g 5.6, I can create a folder directory first, named ‘5.6’ , and select that folder as a Unity install folder?
