Hello.
We have a need for a service we develop (Windows Service) to be installed
side-by-side multiple times on a single computer, differing by installation
path and configuration file(connection string, log path etc). I've developed
a WIX Installer that does the "custom installation" part just fine, but
ofcourse I'm hitting a snag when I want to install another service of the
same type, with the same installation program.
MSI thinks(knows) that the product is already installed, and just gives the
option to uninstall. What I'd like is for the installer to accept "multiple
installs" of the same product but to different paths. Is there a way to
achieve this? Some sort of GUID auto generation?
Here's the wxs file for reference (our company name has been replace with
OurCompany and the application we're integrating with with this service has
been replaced with ExternalApplication).
