It's actually possible to have them both installed and switch between which is active.
That's how I did it:
- If at any point a trainer asks to update or enable automatic updates, decline
- Start with all trainers uninstalled and to be safe delete %localappdata%\Garmin
- Install Trainer 2.7.1.0 with BOTH installation paths in the same root and subdirectory (replace [root] with the path you chose for all instructions), like:
[root]\active\Trainers
[root]\active\ProgramData\Trainers
- Only install the modules you need for 2.7.1.0 (eg GTN module but not GTNXi module)
- Copy the complete content of [root]\active into a new directory [root]\v2
- Uninstall the 2.7.1.0 Trainer. Also delete [root]\active to remove any missed files. Might need to again delete %localappdata%\Garmin (I wasn't getting the latest GTNXi module later if I didn't do that)
- Install Trainer 3.0.1.0 with both installation paths EXACTLY THE SAME as you chose for 2.7.1.0, like again:
[root]\active\Trainers
[root]\active\ProgramData\Trainers
- Again only install the modules you need from this trainer
- Rename [root]\active to [root]\v3
- In [root] create 2 batch files.
- v2.bat:
@echo off
if exist [root]\active\ (
rd [root]\active
)
mklink /J [root]\active [root]\v2
- v3.bat:
@echo off
if exist [root]\active\ (
rd [root]\active
)
mklink /J [root]\active [root]\v3
- v2.bat:
- You can now switch the active trainer version with the bat files.
