how to install 2 apps to 2 different directories? currently, apologize, different

andy

Hi,

I don't know whether my post is relevant here so I apologize in advance.

The problem I currently have is with the NSIS installer. I don't know how to install 2 apps to 2 different directories and program start menu locations from within the same installer.

Can anybody help or at least point me to some directions?Thanks,

Normaly you can handle your 2 programs as one. You want to use one installer for both programs. Add a list of the 2 packages so the user can choose which program he want to install (1,2 or both).

In the installer you can specify where the installer should install your files.

Files of app 1 in lt;C:\Program files\app1\gt; and of app 2 in lt;C:\Program files\app2\gt;

Also the shortcuts you can add to differnt folders in the start menu.

If you need help post me the file structure of your apps and I'll write you the script. You can also upp your files somewhere and I compile the installer for you and send you all files I've created with NIS back to you so you can take a look.
