Thanks for your reply,

If I keep the 3.5 installed in the architectural program, should I install the
3.7 in the same directory or install it in a separate directory, and if I
install in a separate directory, do you think the architectural program will be
able to access the 3.7?

Thanks again for you help, really appreciated
