Rhapsody Launcher Release Notes
Current Version: 3.82
-------------------------------------

NB - THE LAUNCHER NO LONGER SUPPORTS VERSIONS OF RHAPSODY PRIOR TO 5.X

Using Rhapsody Launcher for the first time
------------------------------------------
NB: This tool requires Microsoft DAO 3.51Object library
If you do not have this there is an alternative installation package available but the download size is much larger (around 5Meg)
Please contact the author if you need this

Rhapsody Launcher allows the user to switch between several versions (or langauges) of Rhapsody on the same machine, or simply launch a single Rhapsody version with different parameters (eg launch two versions of Rhapsody using different animation ports - license permitting)

The user can also keep a set of Favourite Projects as one-click buttons to launch the correct version and language of Rhapsody for the Project (LIMITATION: The project path must contain no spaces)

A file called rhapsodyLoader.ini is created in the windows directory to maintain the Launcher preferences.

Prior to using the launcher to load Rhapsody, it is essential to set up the paths to the various versions of Rhapsody that you have installed and also to your WinNT/Windows directory.

----------------------------------------
Setting Paths
----------------------------------------
In the lower left half of the main Launcher window, is the General Settings area.
This is where the user can set up the paths to the Windows directory and any versions of Rhapsody they have installed.
Before using the launcher for the first time, it is essential that these paths are setup.
First set the path to your standard Windows directory by clicking the ".." button next to "Windows Path"
To create a new version of Rhapsosdy, simply click the text "Create New Version".
Give the new version a name (eg 6.1) and Click OK, then set the Path to the Rhapsody installation (e.g,D:\Rhapsody61)
To set a path later, click the '..' button next to the path name you are trying to set

---------------------------
Multiple Rhapsody Installations
---------------------------
If you have multiple Rhapsody installations, it is essential to place a copy of the rhapsody.ini file in the local root directory of each Rhapsody installation. Note that this is whether you use the launcher or not - each version of Rhapsody will try to modify the ini file and if it doesn't find one locally it will modify the one in the windows directory.

Note also that the launcher does not modify these ini files in any way.

Please download the .Zip file for more information.

[font=Garamond][size=3]Hi Andy

i used the old launcher but it did not really worked. i assume that was because I did not found out about the .ini files then.
I'll try this. :cool: It is really useful if you need to work with more then one Rhapsody version.
Perhaps as an extension: Let the launcher check for rhapsody.ini (and off course diffmerge.ini) files and at least warn the user for :eek:"Trouble to come":eek:
