Installscript multi instance directory name change
I have enabled multi instance for my installscript project. I would like to rename the install directory with the instance number appended to it. something like
Instance1 - Program Files\MyAPP Instance 2 - Program Files\MyAPP2 Instance 3 - Program Files\MyAPP3
although I am not for sure how I can get the instance number being installed. Or how to rename the folder. The Folder MyAPP is a folder that holds all the files that I load into the project, it is not created by the installer.
I use a Type 51 CA scheduled ( in both the install ui and execute sequences with Execute Only Once ) before CostFinalize.
I also like to use [ProgramFilesFolder]My Company\[ProductName] where ProductName is defined unqiue ( FOO, FOO-1, FOO-2 ) in the ISProductConfigurationInstance table.
For an InstallScript project, you can check MULTI_INSTANCE_COUNT to see how many instances are already installed; the default OnSetTARGETDIR event handler puts together the TARGETDIR string for multi-instance installers, and you can modify the default implementation. (Same goes for OnCustomizeUninstInfo.)
I do however use the TARGETDIR now and set like TARGETDIR = Program Files\MYCOMPANY\ and it creates something like this Program Files\MYCOMPANY\MYAPP when I do TARGETDIR = Program Files\MyCOMPANY\MYAPP2 it creates Program Files\MyCOMPANY\MYAPP2\MYAPP
with my project I just include the MYAPP folder into the targetdir by draging it into the project and using the linking for all files and subdirectories. So I guess I want to make sure it is possible to rename this folder.
