Hello,

I am using InstallShield X (v10.0) and would like to create the following:
A single project (msi) that will let me install my project more than only once per machine\user, in a deferent path every time.

I need this project\installation to be able to run on any Windows OS.

How can I avoid the limitation of one ProductCode per application?

Regards,

Yehuda

You could:
- create multipe msi files with different product codes
- remove the Register Product actions (not recommended! Your product cannot be unistalled)
- use the InstallScript project type (without MSI)

Thank you very much Stefan.

Unfortunatly, creating multiple msi is not a valid option for our product and so is the "non-MSI" solution.

So, I set Register Product with "0" condition.
It really helped to solve the "maintanance mode" but.... I need every single installation to write itself in the Add\Remove list.
How can I do it?

BTW,
I read Windows Installer help file (titled as "Installing Multiple Instances with Instance Transforms") and found that I can do it with MST file, but:
1) It is not 100% clear to me if I need multiple MSTs (per instance) or it is
possible to do it with a single MST ?
2) It is not 100% clear to me if the "multiple instance" mst file is something I should get with my OS, or a file that I should create?
3) What OS this solution (working with multiple instance MST file) supports?

Thanks,

Yehuda

1) You need one transform per instance, see MSI SDK:
