c# / Visual Studios / "Setup Project"

[Gina_Marano]

Hey All,

I have created an application and an installer for it using Visual
Studios "Setup and Deployment" project template. It works great (for
the simplicity that I require) except that it doesn't allow multiple
instances.

The user needs to be able to install 1 or more copies of the program on
to their computer (in different directories).

TIA

~Gina~

Hello Gina_Marano,

MSI group is more appropriate for this, this topic raised number of times.
BTW, read "Installing Multiple Instances of Products and Patches" there

Hey All,

Are there any good websites or FAQs on this? I am having a hard time
makings heads or tales of the Microsoft documentation.
