Win7 Openhab2.1 issues if having several folders with openhab testversions e.g. per binding?

Setup, Configuration and Use Installation

Hi

I have Windows 7 java8u101 (due to IHC hardware issue) and have installed openhab 2.1.0.

My question is regarding testing stuff with basic openhab to find out problems.

For example I want to test rfxcom binding on a fresh openhab2.1.0 (i.e. no Zwave binding etc) in order to easier find errors.

I plan to only have one openhab started at each time but being able to switch between different test environments - maybe even one per binding now in the beginning anyway.

My question is:

Can I have openhab 2.1.0 installed in different folders and shift between them without them interfering with my openhab where I keep all functioning bindings and that will be my production when everything is working?

folder structure would look like

Openhab2.1
___OH2.1.0PROD
______OH2.1.0
________addons
________conf
________runtime
________userdata
________start.bat
________…etc…

___OH2.1.0test1
______OH2.1.0
________addons
________conf
________runtime
________userdata
________start.bat
________…etc…

 OH2.1.0test2 
           OH2.1.0
 OH2.1.0test3 
           OH2.1.0
 OH2.1.0test4 
           OH2.1.0

Yes you can, there shouldn’t be any issue with that. I have done similar with ohab1x, 2x, etc
