Title: Installing more than one AHMI program
Post by: Arvanoss on February 20, 2019, 03:08:33 PM

Might be an obvious question but the answer eludes me...

I have a PC that sits in a corner running an AHMI program.
How can I install another program on that PC??  Both programs have different names but when I try to install the second one the first one opens and runs like normal.

Thanks
Arv

The main reason that checkbox is set by default is that operators are typically impatient and if the app doesn't start immediately they will keep clicking, then the result is multiple instances running. So that checkbox is set to prevents that.
