Multiple instances - How to know if it's an upgrade or a new instance installation?

Hello,

I'm running into a problem trying to find on the installer wizard dialogs (let's say on WelcomeDlg) if the current installation is for a new instance or if it's for and existing instance upgrade. Is there any property or a more complex way to know which case I'm handling after selecting a choice on the MultipleInstanceDlg?

Thank you in advance

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

First of all, please accept my apologies for the delayed reply.

In what regards your question, I think that you can make use of the OLDPRODUCTS property.

The OLDPRODUCTS property represents a list with the Product Codes of the older versions of your installation package. This property is set only in a package which upgrades another package.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
