Best way to perform multiple installations of same program?

Hello,

I have an SB4 installer that will install 2 copies of the same program in a folder structure like:

[%INSTDIR%]\[%COMPANY1%]
[%INSTDIR%]\[%COMPANY2%]

The end user defines the folder names of the two installations at install time (e.g. company1 and company2 variables). I am having a go at re-doing this installer in SB5. The problems I have with this are:

I am installing 65MB of uncompressed files into each folder. This results in a very large installer executable full of duplicate files. I am hoping there is a way I can do this where I only need to include each file once but have them install to more than one location?

Once I have designed the installer, I am limited to 2 installations of my program. Ideally I would like to be able to install up to 5 parallel installations where I can define the number allowed in the installer somewhere

Any ideas would be much appreciated

Thanks,

Jeff

Jeff,

What about using the "Copy Folder Tree..." script command to copy everything from [%INSTDIR%]\[%COMPANY1%] to [%INSTDIR%]\[%COMPANY2%]

During uninstall you have to use "Delete Folder Tree..." to remove the 2nd copy.

Does this help?

Yeah, that's exactly what I need! Thanks

Jeff,

BTW, there will be a new beta build next week to demonstrate the "uninstall scripting" feature.

Thanks,
