Hi.  
I need to be able to install some software in more than one location.  After installing the first version (MSI file) and when I attempt to install it again, I always get repair or remove.  I would like to install another copy.  Is this doable?  

Please forgive me if this has been discussed before.  I've searched the forums but must be selecting the wrong keywords.

Thank you very much!!!

It's not possible, unless you give the second copy a new product code.

Thanks for the reply Stefan.  I don't know what you mean by "product code" but it's probably something that is in the MSI distribution file that's set during the creation of that file.  So to have a new product code, would I have to create a new distribution package?  

Thanks again for the help.

Yes.

I tried the above but this did not work, the second install went through but none of the files were installed.
