Configuring Multiple Instances in InstallShield
InstallShield 2024
Project:
For information on multiple-instance support for InstallScript projects, see Running an InstallScript Installation Multiple Times.
The typical process for adding multiple-instance support to a Basic MSI project is as follows:
| 1. | For a product configuration in the Releases view, add a new instance for each instance that you want to support. |
| 2. | Set the properties for each instance. |
| 3. | Ensure that each instance will have its own isolated files and nonfile data on the target system if appropriate. For more information, see Special Considerations for Multiple-Instance Support. |
| 4. | Build your release. |
| 5. | Thoroughly test your release. |
