Hi all,
If I generate with InstallShield 2 different Product Configurations, one
for instance everything packed in setup.exe and one for instance the
uncompressed package, and I install using one of those and then run the
other one I get the error "Another version of this product is already
installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or
remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on
the Control Panel.".
I searched to find out why and I found: "This normally happens when
another setup on the system was installed with the same Product Code,
but with a different Package Code.". This surprises me because actually
as far as I understood actually every new build of your product should
have different Package Code. I mean when I change something in my
project and I build the project as far as I read into the docu the
Package Code changes but the Product Code stays the same and when I run
it I get: "This setup will perform an upgrade of 'producut'. Do you want
to continue?"
Q1: I really don't understand why I get this different behaviour. Can
pls somebody explain?
Q2: Can somebody tell me with Orca where should I look to see the
Package Code?
Thank you,
Viv
