Archive: setup multiple instances of one program


setup multiple instances of one program
Hi,


It is necessary that the user can install my program in
different configurations on one computer (with the
same installer script).

If I use the registry to store the installation configuration
such as installation directory and start menu folder, the
registry keys will always represent the setup of the latest
installation.
If the uninstallers pick up information from the registry
(as is the case for start menu folder in the MUI), it
is possible that the uninstaller will uninstall a wrong
installation (delete wrong start menu folder, etc).

Any ideas on how to make multiple installations safe?

Thanks in advance,

Barbara


It that case you will have to store the information in a unique registry key (maybe a key that contains the folder) or file.
