Yes, I use snapshot all the time and it works great as long as you do
everything correctly. What you need to do:
1. Go to x:\b7\system\bin32 and copy snapshot.exe to your desktop
2. Open snapshot and click the save new button, enter a meaningful snapshot
name (I like to do the name of the OW release that I'm saving: B733, B7332
etc.) and in the new folder name type \ and the name of the folder you want
it saved into, like B733, B7332, I put it in a folder with the same name as
my snapshot name.
3. Install the next release of OneWorld you want to run on your computer
4. Open snapshot and click the save new button and enter the name and
location. Now you will have two snapshots.
5. When you want to work in a particular release just open snapshot and
highlight your snapshot name and click restore.
6. When you're done working in that release open snapshot and click save new
(it should remember the name and location from the last time you did it)
then highlight the other snapshot and click restore.
Gotchas:
-Run snapshot and save your current OW release you are working in before you
install the other release.
-Before you try to save a new snapshot make sure you are logged out of
OneWorld and that you aren't accessing anything jde related, log files, pdf
files, etc. I've even had to close windows explorer before it would save.
-Remember to save new before you restore.
-You must be a local admin of the machine to use snapshot.
-Something else I like to do is rename my OneWorld Explorer icons so I can
tell them apart and I don't try to log into the wrong release.
-If you ever accidentally do things out of order and get the following error
message: obsolete jde.ini file, you need to go to the snapshot directory on
your hard drive of the release you're trying to log into and copy the
jde.ini file to the \winnt folder. This should let you log in, close OW and
do a save new again.
