I created a setup program that copies asp scripts and creates a virtual directory on iis5.  My default INSTALLDIR is c:\program files\appserver however during the install I have a custom dialog boxes that asks the user for a database name. I want this database to be add to the INSTALLDIR so that it becomes c:\program files\appserver\database_name.  This becomes the new target? Also, is there a way to install multiple copies of the same install? If so, can the product name under add/remove programs be modified dynamically?

This is covered quite well in the Developers Guide.

Basicly you want a type 51 CA (Set a directory) to set INSTALLDIR to your value.

As for the second part, I don't think so. Co-residency or side-by-side installations require different Product Codes

I think you meant CA 35 to set a directory
CA 51 is set property
