How to install two different programs, created by LabView

Hello,

 

I created two different installers of two different projects in Labiew. The programs must be installed in ProgramFiles folder in two different folders. When I install the first program and then try to install the second, the first one is deleted from Program Files.

Is there any way to install two different programs?

 

Thanks

What path did you provide in the installer destination (under Build Specifications)?

I give the path in my computer where I want to create the install packets -
D:\builds\Program_1
D:\builds\Program_2
I create two install packets and they are built correctly.
The problem arises when I want to run created setup.exe. When I run setup.exe
of Program_1, it installs normally. But when I run setup.exe of Program_2, then Program_1 is deleted.
Next, when I run again setup.exe of Program_1, Program_2 is deleted ...

Have you tried giving different executable names for the two different programs?  I've never had to build an application which had the same name as a previously built executable.

The names of executables are different. These 2 installers are made by LabView 8.6. Before that I ran another installer in my computer which was made by LabView2009. Can this bring to such results?

It does not matter which version of LabVIEW you use.

 

What I am wondering about is if more than one installer is pointing to the same installation folder.

Just a guess (I'm mainly experienced with pre-LV8 App Builders that are quite different): do the two installers share the same Product Code (GUID)?

In this case, the second installer would uninstall the first one as if it was an update.
