Application Builder Question: how to install several applications in the same computer?

[CoastalMaineBird]

I've created the second app form the first one; and only modify the VI's source code and the names and destionations in the builder.

I'm not sure I understand the first part of that, "created from the first one". Can you explain further?

Try installing A.exe, then write-protecting the file (properties in the explorer = READ ONLY).

then install B and see if A sticks around.

You can find the GUID in the build spec for the installer under the version information. It is called the "Upgrade code". Did you happen to copy the project and build specs? If so, this is a common way to end up with two installers using teh same GUID.

That is what I exactly did. I copy all the project folder and reuse all that I can, including the building specs. I've tried to delete both application and installer builders and create a new ones from the begining. Now it works fine!

Thank you very much Mark and Steve for you useful help

For future reference you can simply generate a new GUID after you have made the copy. The option is under the version setting in the installer, same place you can see what GUID is being used.

There should also be a button in the build spec to generate a new GUID.  That could have saved you a little bit of time.
