Hello, I'll make this quick, basically I work with a specific version of Tiled, that being 1.0.3 owing to one of my projects that I contribute to being an RPG Maker project that has a specific plug-in that can only work with older versions. However, there are other projects that I contribute to that require the latest version of it. Is there a way for me to be able to run multiple versions of Tiled on the same machine? I work on Windows 11. Much appreciated!! |

While the MSI installer does not allow installing multiple versions, you can download Tiled as zip archive and run it from the extracted folder. Currently no releases are published as zip, but you can download CI builds from GitHub:
That said, can you tell me why this RPG Maker project needs such an ancient Tiled version? While there have been some changes to the format, the latest version is not generally expected to be incompatible with libraries written against Tiled 1.0. If the RPG Maker plugin uses the JSON format, make sure to enable the "json1" plugin and disable the "json" plugin. Also, the above approach does not work for downloading very old versions, so if you really do need those, you'll want to use the installer to install the ancient version and use the .zip file to run a more recent version. |

You mean about using the I think the only mention about this compatibility plugin is in the release notes of Tiled 1.2.2, when it was introduced. It was only meant as a temporary solution until libraries and plugins would have adjusted to the format changes, but for now there's no plan to remove it. |
