Deployment of multiple systems on one PC

[Snood1]

After building two separate systems (which have many files common between them) with TestStand 3.1 Deployment Utility, TS system #1 can be installed on the target PC correctly.  However, when TS system #2 is installed, the installer tries to uninstall #1 before it installs #2.  There's no way to not uninstall #1 before installing #2, the option to not uninstall is not presented.  How can I install both #1 and #2?

Hi Snood1,

In order to have multiple Teststand installers on one machine, each installer package must have a unique GUID.  To ensure unique GUIDs for each installer, launch the deployment utility and select the Installers Tab. Next choose Advanced Options and then press the Generate button. This will create a new GUID for that installer.

Hope this helps!
