I'm launching two TurboActivate instances with the same turboactivate.dat from two different folder on the disk.
The first get executed and shows a window, the second just starts and closes itself.
Is it a wanted behaviour? I tried also two TurboActivate.Dat with different names (but same contents, using the pdets parameter) and the same behaviour happens again. Is it wanted again?
Thank you
Yes, this is expected behavior. If you use the same TurboActivate.dat folder (regardless of where it is on the disk) then only a single instance of the TurboActivate wizard can be started with that file.
However, you can use TurboActivate.dat files from separate products / versions and TurboActivate will allow multiple instances.
In this case TurboActivate.exe gives out an errorcode when closing?
No, it returns 0 and focuses the existing instance of the TurboActivate wizard.
I need an errorcode returned or also better the pid of the focused instance. This would help to stop the application from going on working until the activation process has been ended.
OK, we can return an error code when TA closes to start another instance.
We've released TA 3.1.3. The only change is the new TurboActivate.exe files. They now return "42" when they exit to focus another running instance. We've also updated the "Using the TurboActivate wizard" help article documenting the change.
Thank you really much!!!
