[oXygen-user] Preventing oXygen XML Author to start a new "instance"

[Oxygen XML Editor Support]

Hi Yves,

Which product do you have installed, the Oxygen XML Editor or the Oxygen 
XML Author?
In this in Windows?

Oxygen already ensures that a single instance of the application 
launcher is running. However, it's possible that you are running a 
different application (e.g. Author) than the one associated with XML 
files (e.g. Editor).
Are you sure that the newly started instance is of Oxygen XML Author or 
is it the Editor?
There's also the possibility of having different versions running of the 
same application (assuming you have multiple versions installed).

Note that the Editor also has an Author launcher. However, if you've 
installed the Editor product, it's the Editor launcher that is 
associated with XML at installation time. That means when you double 
click an XML file, the Editor is started.

If you work strictly with the Author and want it associated with XML 
files (even though you've installed the Editor product), you can 
associate it with XML files in Windows Control Panel > Programs > 
Default Programs > "Associate a file type or protocol with a program". 
Look for .xml in the list, select it, press "Change program" and pick 
the Oxygen XML Author (you may have to browse for it).

Regards,
Adrian
