Windows form thick client application - multiple versions installed on the same machine

392 views Asked by At

We have an old Windows Form thick client application It is an internal tool. It gets installed on everyone's desktop as a windows application. There is a sudden frantic need for creating a separate installer for a client specific version of the same internal tool. Some of the people will need access to both versions of the exact same application. My question is how do I create two installers of the same application and get it to show up in the start up as well as a icon on the desktop. I know that if I change the Product code on the setup properties, both the versions get installed side by side. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, SDD

In the installer, simply use a different product id and upgrade code. How you specifically do that depends on what type of installer you have.
