2022-01-13 07:06:00 - Batch file that can create multiple instances of qtVlm
I've created a batch file for windows that allows you to set up and run independently multiple instances of qtVlm of a single install. Download the attached file, read the instructions in the header and make the changes to the file as needed. Tested with Version : 5.10-9-p4 (meltemus) (Dec 30 2021)
Qt 5.15.6

After an intial mistake I made in changing the directory name in 'qtVlmLoc=...' all works.

Did not now your use of 'mklink /H' and 'mklink /J' in 'qtLinks_1.bat'
Clever.

I learned something new for me.
Thank you.

Just a quick word of caution. It is only tested with the latest version of qt. I would not try and use it with any other version. It may work with future releases, provided qtVlm do not add any new files to the release.

New version that supports V15.12.0.

IMPORTANT: This is a significantly different version from previous ones. You need to delete all the folders in the target folder (where you run qtLinks.bat from) before running the linking batch file.

I've also included the batch file I use to launch qt from my race folder, which you can edit to suit.

Note: I did have an issue with one of my instances which kept crashing. Copying the qtVlm.ini from a working instance and overwriting the fault one fixed it. Obviously, you will need to edit the Configurations as they will be the same as the source instance.

Great job on the batch file! I’ve played around with similar setups for running multiple instances of software, and it’s a lifesaver. Just a quick tip: when you’re editing the paths, make sure they match your directory structure. I once spent ages troubleshooting a simple path issue.

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
