What I am trying to do is to allow customer bootstrappers the ability to install my package for thier application. In some cases the customer has two applications (installed in one setup) that use my product. So how can I use a transform that will allow this customer to install my product twice? And also support patches etc.... My product is delivered as a msi file.
<http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/file/n7584257/New_Bitmap_Image.bmp> I currently have a msi that implements instance tranforms to do this. If I were using scripts msiexec.exe installs it fine with MSINEWINSTANCE=1 and TRANSFORMS set. And if I were using scripts I could uninstall fine by calling msiexec.exe without the MSINEWINSTANCE=1 parameter. However, using a msiPackage in wix I don't see how I can provide a msiProperty (MSINEWINSTANCE) on Install and not have the msiProperty on uninstall. So we are thinking of abondoning instance transforms and seeing if there is a way to use regular transforms to do the same. Being green on the subject of installer and Wix, I would love some direction on how I can solve this problem. My component is used by several independent applications as well and they want to be able to exist on machines that may have other applications that use my component (thier own copy). ----- - jon -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Using-transforms-regular-to-install-mulitple-times-per-application-tp7584257.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 positioned as A LEADER in The Forrester Wave(TM): Endpoint Security, Q1 2013 and "remains a good choice" in the endpoint security space.
