Multiple Instances (Encouraging Feature Development:)

in an VMware virtual Windows XP prof machine.
I do this by running them as different windows users.
(short instruction for the interested:
Login as User: USER
Setup minimserver
Login as User: OTHERUSER
Setup minimserver
You have to change the HTTP port to a different value
Login as User: USER
Start a cmd.exe as user OTHERUSER
change directory to c:\\programs\minimserver lib
Type: java -jar minimserver.jar
Do the same for USER (or start it from the desktop)
I did not do any crashtests on this setup
but I hear the music coming from it right now

I hope not that many tried this solution,
since it doesn't work anymore for me
And I couldn't pin the reason.

But in the meantime I have a better solution,
(not even needing different users)

Just use the following script to start minimserver and
be sure to use different http: ports (see advanced settings)
for each instance and and different
APPDATA directories.
And be sure to write APPDATA in CAPITAL LETTERS:

title 1_Klassik
set APPDATA=C:\minim\1_klassik
cd c:\programme\minimserver\lib
java -jar minimserver.jar
exit

(The title and exit commands are only for convieneince)
