Put option to allow multiple instances of the EXE when creating a build

Status: New

Currently I have to put

 

"allowmultipleinstances = TRUE"

 

into the ini file manually.

You can create an custom INI-file in your project with these kind of settings.

In the build settings you can select a custom INI file to be distributed with your application.

I know.

But I've got a lot EXEs to make, and everytime I change the EXE name, I have to do all the INIs again...

You could create a simple script file that you execute after the install that would add this to the ini file. But overall I do like the suggestion. It would make things easier when building installers.

Yes, it would definitly be a plus if we could add a custom INI file, where a specific group ([%LVAPPNAME%]) comes to mind is replace by the actual executable name.
