Hello,
Does anyone know of a way to create an installation using WiX where the user can specify a particular instance for the installation and for this to be controlled at the WiX level rather than delving down into the murky depths of MSI? In other words supposing we have an installer which installs application "A", can the user run the installer and specify that she wants to install instance "A1" in a particular folder, and then later come along and run the installer again, this time specifying the installation of instance "A2" in a different folder, with the result that there are two separate installations of the "A" application, one instance called "A1", the other called "A2", and, crucially, separate entries in the Add/Remove Programs list. We have a solution at the moment but it is a hybrid approach with a Delphi written front end which gathers the installation details and then passes them as parameters to a WiX written MSI and uses MSI Transforms to achieve the multiple instances! It works quite well, but we would like a purely WiX solution going forward.
