Forgive me if the answer is already posted, but I can't seem to find it. Ever since the latest upgrade, I have not been able to open multiple viewers at the same time.

In properties the new target is: "C:\Program Files\SecondLife\SecondLife.exe" --channel "Second Life Release"

I've changed it to: "C:\Program Files\SecondLife\SecondLife.exe" --channel "Second Life Release"-Multiple

And

"C:\Program Files\SecondLife\SecondLife.exe" -Multiple

But neither will allow me to open the second viewer as my alt. I need to do this for product testing, someone please help! Thanks!!!

from the knowledge base

Find a shortcut of Second Life. You may already have one on your desktop. If you need to find the executable (SecondLife.exe) so you can make a shortcut, Second Life is usually located in this directory:

C:\Program Files\SecondLife

Right-click the shortcut and choose Properties.
Click the Shortcut tab.
In the Target field, next to the path to the directory containing Second Life, insert a space and "-multiple". Like this:


Perhaps its the quotation marks?

Make sure there's a space before -Multiple

If that doesn't work, try reversing the order of Multiple and channel, and if that doesn't work try getting rid of the channel.

According to this page...

http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Client_parameters

-Multiple should now be --multiple

Edit: but I've run with -Multiple and it didn't complain. Only works half the time, but it didn't complain.

Thank you very much for your help! For me, it worked by adding --multiple at the end of the target in properties on my desktop shortcut. Yay!
