I need to build an installer that can install a newer version of the program into a new program data subfolder than a previous one so that there can be two differnt versions of the program executable on the same machine so I can support differnt configurations of equipment that my program interrfaces to. What si the besst way to do this?

Just make sure the "Upgrade code" (on the Version information page of the installer build specification) is different for the 2 installers, then you can install the 2 applications in parallel.

Thanks, but is there a way to install the 2 different versions to different folders. I.E. > C:|Program Files\Program V1 and to C:\Program Files\Program V2?

Other than just specifying different paths when you build the executable? I have a distinct feeling I don't have all the pieces to this puzzle...
