Multiple branded builds - side by side?

Hi there,

We want to build three slight variations of a Windows install from one AIP file - basically the difference is name, icon, company name, install folder etc. There's no functional difference.
This older thread describes what we want pretty well:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=23175&p=58495&hilit=branded#p58495

but I have one question: if I do multiple builds like this, can they all be installed at the same time on one PC?

Or will they have the same GUIDs, preventing side by side install?

Hello and welcome to our forums,

As you already guessed using the multiple builds approach you won't be able to install them on the same machine.

If you want to build setups for different products starting from a common AIP template, then you should save a template copy of your base AIP and then create new setup projects (branded as you need) for each of your product.

Hope this helped.

All the best,
