This isn’t so much of a FinalBuilder question as it is a Windows question, but here goes:
How can I run different instances of FinalBuilder, each in it’s own environment space? I ask because my build process maps certain network drives to drive letters and then works from those drive letters. Obviously I can’t have both scripts trying to map to the same letter! How can I run them so that they both have their own instance of the drive letter? Is this even possible to do?
Yes, you can run multiple instances of FB and they do have their own environment space, but a mapped drive is not part of that environment space. A mapped drive is global to the user session afaik. I suppose you could run a loop that maps a unique drive letter by looking for one not used, or maybe pass in the drive letter as a parameter?

No, can’t chage the drive letters, they are hard-coded into too many things. I wish they were variables instead of drive letters, but that decision was made long before I was around.
So I guess the only way would be to use different logons or use terminal services or something. Or I guess I could try running under multiple virtual servers, but that sounds like a licensing nightmare.
I’ll see what I can come up with, thanks.
