hi i have to create two programs for the same project; live and test respectively.
everything for these two will be the same except for the product names and shortcut names on user's programs menu. And also i need to set setup project's removepreviousversions property to true.
What i did is following :
i copied and pasted the setup project folder and i changed the name of .vdproj file, then i added this copy of setup project as an existing project, then i changed the product name and shortcut name, everyhing is fine so far, i run the two .msi , what happens is when i install the second one it removes the previous one although productnames are different, somehow it was able to associate products by using something i didnt understand. do you have any ideas how to fix this?

i found it guys, if you change the product code and upgrade code manually on both setup projects, then you are able to install two of the projects side by side.
