Hi: Is there a way withing votive 2008/2010 to add multiple files to the installer? I don't really want to have to go through typing 99% the same code for 52 files, the only thing that will differ is the feature[s] they are added to. Regards Sean. -

You need to create 2 components: "x64Component" containing all keys which should go to the x64 view with "VersionNT64" as condition And x32Component containing all keys which should go the x32 view on a x64 system OR for a native x32 system. Kind Regards, Fabio Di Lorenzo On Mon, Sep 13, 2010

if you'd like to have a per user installation, you need to install your files to a per user location. otherwise you'll run against this effect. Currently your shortcuts are installed per user, but the files are in an "all users" location. Read more about the ALLUSERS Property and its effects here
