Side by Side Installation

[SoNix]

HI,

There is a way to create a Setup kit, with 2 different target folder.

Like, same installer.msi, and create a Demo of my software in SoftwareDemo Directory, and a Production Directory.

Because when i want to test my new package on the client configuration, we deploy the setup in the Demo version first, and if everything is okay, install the software in the Production directory.

\\SoftwareDemo\\*.* Shared as SoftDEMO
\\Software\\*.* Shared as Software

When i'm trying to install the second time, the setup ask me to repair my previous install. But i want to made a new instllation.
Multi-Instances.

Thanx.

Hi,

You could probably use the Transform Inrtance command to spawn a new side-by-side instance.

Also, why not just allow maintenance mode to install the new feature? You can use two different target paths in a setup, so that would work as well.
