I think you can use single install folder, and create two shortcut links to the exe. As a command line parameter you would then use :
and for each shortcut set a different datapath. Honestly, I have not tried it, but -datapath: is handled in the code by the looks of it.

Hi Ben,
it works definitely. You must have made a mistake somewhere.
In my case the shortcut target field looks like this.
Code: Select all
"D:\HAM Radio\SDR\OpenHPSDR\PowerSDR mRX PS 3.4.9\PowerSDR.exe" -datapath:"%appdata%\FlexRadio Systems\HF"
and
Code: Select all
"D:\HAM Radio\SDR\OpenHPSDR\PowerSDR mRX PS 3.4.9\PowerSDR.exe" -datapath:"%appdata%\FlexRadio Systems\VHF"
If the target folder /VHF or HF) does not exist, you will get a warning like this.

- datapath message.PNG (16.53 KiB) Viewed 8452 times
If you did everything right, you will end up like this.

- folder1.PNG (17.32 KiB) Viewed 8452 times

- folder2.PNG (9.44 KiB) Viewed 8452 times
In each new folder you will find a wisdom and database file.
You can save the time to create the wisdom file by creating the directories (VHF and HF) beforehand,
copying the corresponding VHF / HF database and wisdom file from your initial PowerSDR mrx PS folder there.
Now you create the shortcuts with the different targets as described above.
Now you are ready to go.
