Something like the following in OnCustomizeUninstInfo(): szUninstallName = szUninstallName + IFX_MULTI_INSTANCE_SUFFIX; Thanks Stefan, I came across this, but it turned out to be a bug in the program I had written. IFX_MULTI_INSTANCE_SUFFIX, i dont use this in my program, which never the OnCustomiseUninstInfo, this made things alot harder to debug, but I got there in the end, thanks mate.

Hi, the way i did it, was to assign unique value identifiers to each of the buttons. When a button is pressed, a function uses a case statement to determine which button was pressed. So this was you can determine which button was pressed and proceed with the function as you want to.

The instance GUID changed becuase its a multi-instance project. I dont really want to change the Product GUID. Any other ideas. I dont knwo why its doing this, as the installshield documentation says "multi instance projects create unique ARP entries".

bump ^... anyone?

Vijay_K · ‎Jan 16, 2008

This is how I would code it. I have used this syntax, maybe give it a go? nReturn = XCopyFile(PROGRAMFILES ^ "Smartware Group\\Smart Maintenance\\*", "C:\\smartbackup\\*", COMP_NORMAL | READONLY | INCLUDE_SUBDIR);

Hi, I know for installscript projects, if BATCH_INSTALL is true at the time of unisntall->reboot, the uninstallation of locked files occurs after reboot. I think there is a dialog to show which files are locked, and i guess you can set BATCH_INSTALL = TRUE, then reboot. Again im not sure if this willl work for your basic msi project as I used an Installscript project.

In the installshield documentation it says that a multi instance project should create a new ARP entry everytime. My ARP gets overwritten by a new release. If i install the new release then the old release I get 2 entries as expected. Can any one help?

Installscript Project. Multi Instance Project. Hi, There are probably many threads related to this but I couldnt find them. I have a problem. My Product GUID's are the same, My version is determined by the installer during runtime, the version can be 3.11.1, 3.11.2, 3.12.0 so on. The problem I am facing is that, if I have a 3.11.1 installed, and then Install 3.11.2, it is overwriting the 3.11.1 entry in add/remove programs. I guess becuase the PRODUCT GUID is the same, this is why I am facing this problem? Is there a way to disable this? Is is possible to set the Product GUID to = the Instance GUID at runtime? Cheers Guys.

Cheers mate. I havn't tried this yet, but it seems the problems we faced are with IS 2008. Thanks, for posting the possible solution. 🙂

Why? I was going on this.... i thought that was the problem. never mind, hope someone helps u

Vijay_K · ‎Aug 09, 2007

You have 2 entries because you changed the Product ID of setup B. Windows treats a New GUID as a new installer. And therefore it thinks that setup A and setup B are different. You can try and remove both entries via add/remove programs.

Common guys/girls, this should be an easy question for an intermidiate/advanced user.... Please help.

Hi, Im using an Installscript project. What does the repair function do exactly on the sdWelcomeMaint dialog. Does it reinstall all the files? Does it reinstall files that have been changed? I have no clue... Please help, as I need to know urgently. Thanks.

I have seen this problem, but it disappears after I reboot for the second time. In my case, the Instance guid was not the one of the product i installed. Windows was complaining about some other installation. Im not sure how to fix your problem. soz
