Shared Files Question

I have three applications that all share a common interface framework (similar to Microsoft's MMC). The framework consists of about 10 EXEs and DLLs and I need to have some custom actions performed when they are installed. Is it possible to do this by duplicating part of the setup in each installation and then marking the files as shared? If so, how do I do it in AI?

I am evaluating AI and like what I have seen, but I need to make sure I can do everything that I need with it.

Re: Shared Files Question

Hello and welcome to our forum.

The recommended way to share files between more application is to use merge modules. You can see a similar discussion on the "Merger Modules and DLL Registration" thread.

Let me know if you have other questions.
