RE: IAR MDK With Multiple IAR Versions Installed

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any other way you can target an old IAR version. You can try manually copying the files changed by MDK installer, into old IAR install directory, but I cannot guaranete that no other changes are made by the installer. To be sure, you should look into the log-file in more detail.

Jorgen,

Thanks for the reply! Sorry I didn't notice the msiexec command you provided. What about installing the MDK when you have multiple versions of IAR tools installed? Can you target them in some way?

Best Regards, Darren

Hi,

Using the method I suggested in the previous post, I ran a repair on MDK 8.12. I was able to extract this list of changed files from the generated log file:

This seems to correspond with the files 7-Zip is able to extract from the msi-package.
