Multi instance installation

cwallukat · 13th October 2006, 06:39

Hi all,

i need to create a setup of a product which can be installed more than once and everytime installed it should apper in the controlpanel as a single product with the name of the instance.

So what i need is to change:

!define PRODUCT_NAME
!define PRODUCT_DIR_REGKEY
!define PRODUCT_UNINST_KEY

I have tryed it, but with
strcpy $(PRODUCT_NAME) "something"
it does not work.

Maybe that this are not real variables ?
Is there another way to do this ?
Do i also need to change the product GUID like in installshield ?

Please help me

Kind regards

Christian

!define creates a compile time constant. Variables are created with the Var instruction. It might be a better idea to use $R0-$R9 or $0-$9 though if you want to save on memory use (they are predefined).
