I built a vi, which is a fairly large program, and built an installer with the Application Builder. It installs and works fine.
I created another version of the program by modifying the vi slightly (renaming it of course) and created another exe and installer (with different names and install locations, of course). That also works fine.
Now here’s the problem: When I install the modified program, it creates the new folder and installs all the files fine (the exe and all my other files and folders that I directed the installer to install and create). HOWEVER it deletes all the files and folders in the OTHER (first vi exe) folder. (Those two folders are in the same parent folder, but that should not matter.) It also deletes the desktop shortcut that the first installer created, and puts the new shortcut (the shortcut icons are also different) on the desktop. If I re-run the first installer, it does the same thing: It deletes the other files and desktop shortcut and creates the first files, folders, and desktop icon. So, in other words, the last installer to run takes priority. Apparently the installer thinks each installer replaces (and uninstalls) the other. How strange! (I have installers for other vi’s and they are not affected.)
Does anyone know what the problem may be?
Thanks all,
Ed
