Hi all,
I'm using wise installer and I have the following secnario:
I have two installations (which can "live" together) which are using the same infrastructure dll's and both placing all their files on the folder. What I need is that when I uninstall one of them (but the other installation is still installed) I want that the uninstalltion will only remove the files that are not infrastructure, and when I uninstall both of them, the infrastructure dll's will be uninstalled as well.
is there a simple way of doing/configuring it (mainly with wise, but other methods would be great as well).

Thank you,
Ofir

Windows Installer will do this automatically for you - if you follow the rules. This means you must use the same ComponentId GUID for identical components in both setups. The easiest way to ensure this is a place those files in a merge module that you can add to both of the setups.

Generate a log to find out why the component gets removed. Are you using merge modules, or how do you make sure they ComponentIds are the same in both setups?

I feel, by setting up the GUID's same for those components in both the package should solve your problem.

But if you are still facing the problem, then I hope you can set the attribute "Always increment shared .DLL count" for the same components in both the packages. It should solve your problem.
