You'll need to change more than just Product ID, I believe, to correctly follow component rules. The MSDN docs describe these rules. I would look into using transforms to accomplish this. Unfortunately, multiple installs of the same product on the same machine is somewhat of a maintenance headache. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
