Multiple Instances and ApplicationName

Tue Jun 04, 2019 4:15 pm

Hi All,

I have an installer that uses the 'Generate instances at installation time' feature. This seems to work fine, in that I can have install separate versions of my web application in separate folders; as separate sites and application pools. Great!

The issues I'm facing are when I install multiple instances, the ApplicationName property changes to the instance name I give it which is contained in INSTNAME_EDIT_PROP. What I wanted to do was have my apps named 'Online App (default), Online App (Customer A), Online App (Customer B). But instead I get Online App, Customer A, Customer B; if that worked then great. However, ideally I can see if you create individual instances the ProductName property gets set to ProductName = [|ProductName] [|InstanceId]. So, is there a way to use the 'Generate instances at installation time' feature but also being able to set ProductName = [|ProductName] ([|InstanceId])?

I'm evaluating this application at the moment for our inernal and external deployments, so sorry if I'm missing something.

Thanks,

Stuart.

Hello Stuart and welcome to our forums,

Unfortunately we do not have support to set a default format for the ProductName used by multiple instances when the "Generate instances at installation time" option is used. I have forwarded your suggestion to our development team and maybe they will consider such improvement in the future too.

All the best,
Daniel
