Hi, The behavior you are experiencing should not be happening by default. From your description, it sounds like you have multiple copies of the same files included into your project. Ex: In the example below, there are 2 copies of the same file in your installation (fileB and fileC) Component 1 has files: fileA, fileB, fileC Component 2 has files: fileB, fileC, fileD Try breaking your installation into 3 components and associate the components to their features. Ex: Feature1 has Component 1 and Component 2: Feature2 has Component 2 and Component 3: Component 1 has files fileA Component 2 has files fileB, fileC Component 3 has files fileD In the example above, there is only one copy of each file in your installation. Associating components to features can be done in the Files and Folders view in the Installation Designer tab under the Application Data folder. 1. Navigate to the Files and Folders view. Select the Installation Designer tab --> Expand out the Application data folder --> Select the Files and Folders view. 2. Show components and subfolders In the lower left hand panel titled Destination computer's folders select and right click Destination Computer and checkmark Show Components and SubFolders. 3. Find the component(s) that you would like to associate with features. Expand out the folders till you see the name of your component you would like to modify 4. Set the Features to associate the component with. Select --> Right click --> Click Properties --> Select the Features Tab --> Select the Check Box next to the appropriate features

Looking further, it appears, as I thought, that you cannot use WindowsFolder in a Installscript project. You must use WINDIR.

Thanks. This should work for me. It would be nice if there where InstallShield native IIS scripting methods instead.
