Hello Ad,
I want to be able to install my program mutiple times
This should be possible by enabling the "Allow side by side installation of different Product Versions" option from the "Upgrades" page.
need to be able to manually enter a service name?
For this, you can proceed as it follows:

- create a new dialog in "Dialogs" page

- add an "Edit Box" control to it

- set the property of that edit box to, for instance, MY_SERVICE_NAME

- go to "Services" page and in the "Service Name" field, input the property above, e.g.:

[MY_SERVICE_NAME]

Hope this helps!

Hello Ad,

Yes, in order to use the "Dialog Editor" feature, the Enterprise suite is required.
