Solved!
Go to solution

Hello! I created distributive for my project and installed it. Now I want to install this program with fiew changes in code, but as a new product. But new program replaces old one. How to change installer parameters to create a distributive that gives opportunity to install this program as a new product without updating old program? 

Thanks.

The easiest is to copy the installer settings (right click, copy).

Hi. I didn't understand, what do you mean. Even if I rename the installer the new installed program with new name replaces the old one with other name. (I have Labview8.5).

You need to duplicate Installer:

As result the new GUID will be generated, and you will get new product

Hi! I have successfully created the second istaller that installs program as a new product. Thank you for your help! But I didn't understand what exactly I need to change in installer properties to create it without duplicating (or if I want to create an installer from the copy of original project)?

Each installer (on Windows) is identified by a GUID, this is hidden in the LabVIEW project file, by duplicating a installer you create a copy with a different GUID.
