Same File - both the application contains...

[cpreddy]

Hi,

Am new to install Shield.

I have an one application and trying to install in to the target machine. it has so many files, registry entries, service and shortcuts....

I have one more application and trying to install into the target machine.it has so many files, registry entries, service and shortcuts....

I would like to inform you that both the applications contains one file with the same name and its' extenstion also same, however the content is different.

Also, i want to tell you that both the applications install at the same location. in such case what should i do?

if i unstall first application, it is removing the file. where as when i try to access the second application, it is giving problem. because it was removed by the first application.

How can i solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Please read the basics of setup development and deployment before posting.

Also, what do you expect as outcome in the scenario you have mentioned.

Different packages deploying the same file however the files are different versions.

By using Isoloation component, it seems we can solve the above problem. , however am not clear how to use this isoloation component.

Please share if anyone knows about it.

I believe the isolation functionality that you mentioned is applicable to App-V packages, a technology for which the product is not actually installed on the target system. That isolation functionality is not applicable to traditional installations.

For more information on App-V support, see "Creating Microsoft App-V Applications" in the InstallShield Help Library.
