Install more than 1 scheduler on a server

I'm setting up multiple Aras Innovator environments on my server. When it comes to installing the scheduler, I'm stuck as there are no instructions on how to install more than 1 InnovatorService on a server. When you try and setup a second one by running the install script, it says there is already an InnovatorService existing and I don't see a way to specify a different service name for a different environment. How can this be done? Can I use the standard windows "sc create" to create the service myself and not use the install tool given by Aras?

    I'm fairly sure you can run the scheduler against multiple databases/Innovator installs. The config file allows you to specify multiple <innovator> </innovator> instances in which you can nominate a single server/database and a series of jobs. So you don't need to install multiple services you just need to put more "innovator" servers into your scheduler config.

    That's interesting, I'll definitely take a look at that for when we have multiple instances of the same version of Innovator. But we have more than 1 Innovator version spanning R12 to R35 and I'm guessing we cant use the R35 scheduler with an R12 instance or vice versa?

      Pretty sure you can use the same scheduler for multiple different version of Innovator. It's all done using API calls from outside Innovator and the calls themselves haven't changed so I think you should be all good.
