Hi

What do I need to do to enable an app to be installed twice on a pc? At
present I get a message either asking to uninstall the previous version of
the app or offering to modify or remove the app.

Thanks

Regards

I am assuimg 2 different locations i.e directories... so you would do is
ncopy or xcopy deployment, rather than use the MSI install..,in this way you
can deploy the app to 2 locations... or

you can write a post install script and run that from the MSI to make a
copy..... or

you can create 2 destination locations (directories) in the MSI installer
and include all your applications files in both these directories...

just curious to what situation demands 2 copies of the same app on same
machine?
