Multi-Instance MSI with InstallShield 2012 Limited Edition
Hello,
I've created a .msi of my product using InstallShield 2012 Limited Edition project via Visual Studio 2012. It works fine when installing a single instance of it. But when trying to install another, the maintenance view pops up and asks me if I want to repair, modify or remove my product.
What I want is to be able to run the same .MSI multiple times installing multiple instances of the very same product. If I want to repair, modify or remove it I would want to do it via the Control Panel - Programs.
I have found an article covering what I want http://helpnet.installshield.com/installshield18helplib/RunningASetupMultipleTimes.htm but I can't seem to find "Maintenance Experience" under the "General Information view.". So my question is - is this feature not supported in InstallShield 2012 LE? If it isn't is there another way of achieving what I want in InstallShield 2012 LE?
Thanks!

Hello,
You would need to change product code, upgrade code and package code(unique ID) in general information view to achieve the required behavior.
Hope this helps.

The support for creating multi-instance installations is not available in InstallShield Limited Edition. You may want to consider upgrading to the Premier or Professional edition of InstallShield.
