Hi,

I've used ISMP 4.51 to create 2 setup setupA and setupB.
the default destination directory for setupA is c:\A, and c:\B for setupB. I've launched setupA ... everything was OK. Then I've launched setupB and it has prompted c:\A for destination directory instead of c:\B. I've tested on Win2000 professional, WinNT 4 and Win98

some one can help me ?

thanks in advance

Check if your two installers are sharing the same product UID key. (This should be the case if one of your projects was created by copying the other one...)

If both installers have the same product key, InstallShield will assume these installers are dealing with the same product.

Therefore, in your example, the "setup B" installer will detect a previous installation of what it considers to be the same product (A), and automatically override the default installation path to do some type of "update" installation.

If this is your problem, you just have to generate a new key for one of your two installers.

Regards,

Frederic
