Side by side in Installshield

Hi,

We have migrated Install shield project 12 to Install shield 2011.
here we want to implement side by side installation for C runtime libraries.

Preious libraries are of version 80, now we want to add msvcp100.dll, msvcr100.dll. So how this side by side installation for C run time is achieved by using Install shield.

Are you delivering these files yourself (i.e., as components in your own installer)? If so you would have to have different Component GUIDs for each file, and since the names are distinct this would be 'side-by-side' (I would think).

However, why aren't you just using the provided merge modules - that will deal with all the installation & side-by-side issues for you.

Thanks for the reply,
My project is migrated to VC2010 & in previous release side by side is done by using manifest file.

So any way i have added Merge modules In Setup which installs C run time in System 32 ( Central deployment)
