Update Multiple Directories of the same application

I have an application that runs as a service and could have multiple instances installed on a single server with a directory structure like so:

C:\Program Files\InputService1\
C:\Program Files\InputService2\
C:\Program Files\InputService3\
C:\Program Files\InputService4\

Each directory would have the exact same contents (configuration info is on the database side). I have an AI build that initially installed each instance. When I have a new version I'd like the installer to update the contents of each directory. I believe I could do this with File Duplication. Right? If so, how would I accomplish this with a large number of files and multiple folders? Is there a better way to consecutively update each directory?

Hello,

To achieve what you need I think you can try to use our "Multiple Instance" feature.

Just try to implement the settings from our "Major upgrades for multiple instance" video tutorial.

All the best,
