IQANLauncher
We have many machines running a range of firmware versions, we need to ensure we prepare program updates containing the same firmware as already exists on the machine, purely due too the bad experiences when updating firmware remotely.
I assumed IQANLauncher would open the correct version of IQANDesign (If the application version is installed) when a program is double clicked, but we have found this not always the case.
There doesnt seem to be any documentation on this program that I can find, can we get info on its intended purpose and use.

We've had a lot of issues with the multi-master firmware dependencies as well.
Trying to keep which specific version of everything is needed is very difficult.
So many variables:
IQANdesign firmware (programmer)
IQANrun firmware (technician)
The copies of the files on our server firmware
The firmware reported by the modules (which has no correlation to IQAN software (Firmware Discrepancy / Software / IQAN))
Not sure how I'm supposed to prepare a PLC to slot into a multi-master system without having to flash both PLCs to the same firmware on site. Seems like no matter what we've tried we have to flash them on site.
I'm supposed to ask the user to check the checksum every time?
Any input to this question from the IQAN team?
The IQANdesignLauncher.exe is opening project files in the major versions they were saved in, 5.x, 6.x or 7.x.
To find out the exact IQANdesign version a file is saved in, you can right-click on it in Windows explorer, select Properties and File info.
Thanks for your reply Gustav
I have the following situation:
Recently installed the current version 7.06
We have an older idsx program with the following properties
If I double click on the program, or manually select open with the launcher in 7.06 program folder, I get error :
after clearing the error, checking the IQAN program version in Help > About, it is 6.06.14.7677
If I open the program directly with IQANdesign 6.08.24.8136, all is OK
From this IQANLauncher is not functioning as described, is opening in 6.06 but should be opening in 6.08, right?
I should have been more clear on what we mean by major version, 6.06 and .08 are both the same major version.
6=Major version
6.08. Minor version
6.08.24 Release version
Further to this issue Gustav
We have a program saved with IQANdesign 7.00
Double clicking, or open with IQANdesignLauncher 7.06, the program opens using IQANdesign 7.06, not 7.00.
And it opens the 7.00 program in 7.06 without warning, not ideal.
I can open this program directly with 7.00.45.8646 OK
