When I try to install both versions on same computer, it looks like the folders for opening fixtures are defaulting to the other version (which was the last one installed). When I check windows registry, there is only one QLC folder so it appears that whatever last installation was done overrides the settings of any previous installations. Probably need a way to keep those separate unless all the files (like fixture definitions) are cross compatible.

To have both version 4 & 5 on the same computer, they need to be installed to different folders (QLC+ and QLC+5), and to different names (Q Light Controller Plus and Q Light Controller Plus 5). If you haven't done that, you'll have to delete both versions and reinstall each.

This seems to have fixed it. Perhaps the installation utility should default to adding a version number in the default folder and application name to avoid this issue for other users. I usually try to let the application decide where to put things.
