Installing multiple applications to the same <AppFolder>

By default, Tarma Installer saves its uninstaller and the installation database as Setup.exe and Setup.ini, respectively, in the <AppFolder> of the application. This can be a problem if you want to install multiple applications in the same <AppFolder>, because subsequent installations will overwrite the uninstaller program and database file from previous installations.

From release 2.73 onwards, you can prevent this by giving each installation its own Setup.exe name, which is then also used (with a .ini extension) for the installation database. As long as each application uses a different name, they can safely be installed to the same <AppFolder>.

Changing the name of Setup.exe

To change the name of the Setup.exe program for your application, act as follows:

1. Open your Tarma Installer project.
2. On the Project > Files page, click on the <AppFolder> installation folder, then click on the Setup.exe file within that folder.
3. Enter the desired name in the Install as field. The default name is Setup.exe, which is suitable for most applications that do not share their <AppFolder> with others.
