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.

Hi,
Yes it is posible. Just make sure that every component from your framework have same GUID in all your projects.
In the "Organization" panel you can see and modify the GUID for all your components. Copy the GUID, of all your framework components, from one project to the other two projects.
These file will not be removed at the first uninstall of one of your applications, they it will remain until the last of your application will be uninstallled.
Plese do not hesitate to ask if you have any other question.
