Hi,
We are planning to upgrade our applications to Infragistics 2008 Vol 1 from 2007 Vol 1. We would like to do this in batches which means we will have applications using both 2007.1 and 2008.1 for sometime. We want to take the GAC approach to deploy Infragistics DLLs to our production server. The deployment also requires moving other infragistics files(forms, styles, scripts & images) to the server.
Can I copy images directory for 2008 Vol. 1 to the server under C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\infragistics\ ?
Will this affect applications using 2007 Vol. 1 as they use the same directory to lookup default images?
Thanks,

If you are trying to use both 7.1 and 8.1 in a single application it will not work due to compilation issues. If your question is regarding each individual application using 8.1 or 7.1 exclusively, having both 8.1 and 7.1 on the server should not pose a problem. If you look at a machine that has both versions installed the default layout of the ig_common virtual directory would be as follows:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\infragistics\
->20071CLR20 (Folder containing 2007 Volume 1 specific files)
->->Forms
->->Scripts
->->Styles
->20081CLR20 (Folder containing 2008 Volume 1 specific files)
->Images (Folder for images used across all volumes)
Also, the GAC would contain all the dlls required for each version.
The short answer to your question would be that the images are common between the two volumes and if anything 2008 may have added additional images for the newer controls.
Thanks Kim for your post.
We are planning on upgrading each application as a whole to 8.1. Since the Images folder is shared across all the volumes we want to make sure that we are not affecting other applications using 7.1 when we deploy the new images folder.
So is it safe to say that, images folder for 2008 Vol. 1 will have all the images required by previous versions plus the images for newer controls.

It is safe to say that copying the images folder from a 2008 Voume 1 installation should have no impact on applications using 2007 Volume 1.
