Multiple Setup File Names For A Project

Multiple Setup File Names For A Project

Summary

This article describes configuring your project to build releases with different file names.

Synopsis

This article describes configuring your project to build releases with different file names. Typically, this is done if the project contains multiple releases for different targets or if you wish to include the version of the product as a part of the setup file name.

Discussion

In MSI based projects, the best way to set this up is to have a separate product configuration for each separate release. In the Releases view, right click on Releases in the middle pane to create a new product configuration. Each product configuration can be configured to have its own Setup File Name. In the case that you are building a .msi instead of a .exe file, it is also possible to change the MSI Package File Name field of the product configuration to change the name of the MSI, but keep in mind that in a minor upgrade scenario, the base and upgrade MSI package must have the same package name.

In InstallScript project, you can specify the Single .exe File Name in the Setup.exe tab of the release. Simply create a new release for each release that has a unique file name.
