Instance name is not resolving Under Programs and Features

[GovardhanaReddy]

Hi All,

We are using multiple instance feature in our application and Under Product Details tab-> Add or Remove Programs (Control Panel) section, checked a property "override windows Installer Program list entry" and given the Custom Name as [|ProductName]([|InstanceId]). This is just for differentiating our instances after installation.

But currently for all the instances it was taking a single name called "XXX(Prod)". We created a InstanceId property with Prod value.

Installation folders and short cuts were creating properly based on the instance.

Did we missed any settings?

Hello,

Please note that the Custom name field from the Product Details page is of PseudoFormatted Type. That means, at build time the property references are replaced with the value of the respective properties.

Also, when the Override Windows Installer programs list entry is not enabled, the instance's name which appears in the Programs and Features list from Control Panel is like this:

Code: Select all

 [ProductName] [InstanceId] 

where the name for your instance is pre-defined in the Multiple Instances page.
However, if the user select custom name for the instance then the entered value will be displayed in the Programs and Features list from Control Panel.

Please let us know if that helped.

Best regards,
Dan
