I could not find any document the describes how to beta test a latest version?
(could be that I mist it.. :))
So i assumed that I had to copy it over the other installed version.
For the sake of registery keys and stuff.

Sorry my mistake :(

Will uninstall the stuff, and install it again.

maybe stupid question, but why don't you create a installation of the unofficial builds?
saves the trouble of getting the correct dll's.

IMHO, it is a good practice to install official and unofficial realeases into separate empty directories. This avoid confilcts and problems :). I do this and I can run together RC2 and one or more beta versions without any problems.

The only thing I have copy&paste from RC2 to each of my beta are the migw compiler. This worked fine, even if you must be sure not to forget something :wink:.

To create an installation is IMHO not necessary. Download a binary release from Therion or Ceniza, unzip it, run it, configure it and enjoy :D. This works for me. Only recently, it seems (to me) that a dll is missing in the SVN beta from Therion. But I still have to check more carefully.

If you want to test the latest development version, you best get an inofficial build first (because you cannot build HEAD using RC2), and follow the instructions here:  http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=1701.0

The current version no longer uses the registry. All configuration goes neatly into one file.

We decided against that because the development version is just what its name says... a development version being developed. We would probably get a lot more problems if people were regularly using "officially released" development snapshots, as those likely contain bugs.
