Most of this is just the way that Windows Installer works, by design. It's the ProductCode (that Id) that identifies the product, so you cannot have the same product installed twice.
If your product version doesn't come out consistently, and is not what was intended, then that sounds like a build problem to me. It's your build process that should produce two separate versions, but apparently it can't. --------------- Phil Wilson On Wed, Mar 5, 2014 at 4:16 AM, Suvrajyoti Panda <suvrajyo...@contata.co.in> wrote: > Hi All, > > I am not able to install different versions of my application through > installer i have created side by side.
