Install two version of EDK/ISE (8.1, 8.2) in my windows xp?

Is it possible to install two diferent versions of EDK/ISE, that is,
one EDK/ISE 8.1 and another EDK/ISE 8.2. The reson is that I need the
first one for simulink, but my custom board uses the second one (for
the drivers). I suppose that the problem is the "Path Variable".

Has anyone some experience in this?.

I will post my results as soon as possible.

Regards, Pablo

You only need to create some littel batch files around the calls to
porject navigated and edk, setting the corresponding variables:
this is my batch file for EDK 8.2:

set LMC_HOME=c:\Xilinx8.2\smartmodel\nt\installed_nt
set XILINX=c:\Xilinx8.2
set XILINX_EDK=C:\EDK8.2
set PATH=%XILINX_EDK%\bin\nt;%XILINX%\bin\nt;%PATH%
bin\nt\xps_sdk.exe


It works nice.

I also recommend Symon's method. _Usually_ the method that Zara
mentions works well but I once had a problem when Xilinx had not been
installed in C:\Xilinx. Better stick to the default directory.

First of all, thanks for your advices. I am agree with Patrick. For me
I choose the Symon's method, but at finally I will make the Zara
scripts because this computer has to be programmed by most of people.
