Description
unpocoloco
2014-08-26 21:39:34 UTC
We have a similar problem in our company. Our goal is a little different but it boils down to the same fix. We make stable and developer versions of our product. We want end-users who have the stable builds installed to also be able to install a develop build next to it, so they can easily switch back when needed. We've tried to change the branding.token, the app.title, and app.name properties, even all at once, but it keeps claiming the application is already installed. We start to wonder, what defines an application as the same and what separates one application from another? Predefining the Installation Folder in the harness also doesn't work (the change does show in the installer, but of course, the other version needs to be uninstalled first). *** Bug 250460 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
