Installing app vNext side-by-side


Recommended Posts

(Related post here.)

 

I have a previously released application (v1.1) built using LV2009.  Currently vNext is in development using LV2012 and the most recent drivers.  To simplify their testing, I'm trying to allow users to install v1.1 and vNext side-by-side rather than having vNext overwrite v1.1.

 

I duplicated the v1.1 installer spec, made the appropriate changes (including generating a new upgrade GUID), and built the installer.  So far so good.

 

When I run the vNext installer on a clean system it works as it should.  However, when I attempt to install vNext on a system with v1.1 already installed, I have to run the installer twice.  The first time it just changes the drivers.  The second time it actually installs the vNext software.

 

Anyone know why this is?
