We are planning to have three versions of inventor 2011, 2012 & 2013 installed on all our machine to suit clients requirements.
We have different client on different versions.
We have more than one client on the same version but with different project files.
Is it possible to launch a specified version of inventor with a specified project file?
Currently I create a shortcut to a project file on the desktop and when we select the ipj it launches the last version of inventor that has been run but now we have three different versions of inventor this will not suffice.
Is it possible to launch a specified version of inventor with a specified project file?
Autocad does it fine with the old profile switch "D:\Autodesk\ACADM 2011\acad.exe" /p "X:\Applications\Autodesk\AutoCad\04 Profiles\Assystem.arg"

Hello, of course it can be done. Ive done it. and yes you can use the same ADMS 2013 does all three with the backpack.
I dont what users to change the project file, and of course change the vault working folder.
I would like it to be done through simple icons that sets up the inventor version and project file.
If the user selects the wrong Inventor version and vault project the data may get migrated.
I cannot risk that chance.

Since the file formats for each version of Inventor are different, I would go with completely different Project Files and separate directory structures. The older version won't be able to open the newer versions of Inventor files but you will be able to open older versions of Inventor files. Should someone migrate these older files you will have problems with the older Inventor data.
I would even incorporate the version into the project name just to help clarify which version of Inventor should use the project.
I would keep and use the standard desktop Inventor icons.
