I the new Windows installer, it's possible to create a multi-instance for installing one setup several times.


I just want install in the first time (with parameter AAA), and in shortcut, i want <Program name> "AAA" and in "Add/remove panel" <Program name> "AAA" whith remove button.


And if i launch in the second time, add new parameter like BBB, and in shortcut, i want <Program name> "BBB" and in "Add/remove panel" <Program name> "BBB" whith remove button.


It's possible in Installscript pure mode but the multi-instance is not available directly in Installshield interface of i not found this.


It's really impossible or i don't have solution or option for this ?

Thank you.

It's impossible. Every MSI has a so-called Package code, when Windows Installer starts it just looks up the package code on your system, if it exists you will run a maintenance setup.

Rethink your design, maybe every 'instance' can be a feature?

Ok, also i used Installscript and this work correctly.
