Multiple Instance on Install

Hi,

I have this issue regarding multiple instances, actually what im trying to achieve is only to install a web application on the server (and it doesn't matter how many installation of that same product will be installed). On my .aip under MULTIPLE INSTANCES tab, i created 3 Instances and i didn't change anything on additional Properties and Components tab. Then under the MEDIA tab, Builds\Default Build i have chosen "Single MSI (resources inside)" for Package Type and compiled the installer. But whenever i tried to install and reinstall my application on the same machine it always prompt me that there is already an Existing Installation of the same program. Please let me know how to do it. Thanks
Dan

Re: Multiple Instance on Install

Hello,

Please note that the Multiple Instaces feature require the package type as an .EXE setup file as the existence of multiple instances is verified by the .EXE.
This is why the corresponding option must be checked in the Configuration Tab page. You can take a look on the Multiple Instances article which may be useful to you.

So, you cannot use multiple instances in your installation package while using the package type as an .MSI setup file.

Please let us know if that helped.

Best regards,
Dan
