Multiple installations

[sprezzatura]

We use Amyuni PDF in two of our products.

If a customer un-installs one product, it deletes the Amyuni printer completely from his system, and Amyuni is no longer available to the other application.

Does Amyuni's Install maintain a count of the number of times it has been installed, and can it decrement the count for every uninstall, not deleting itself until the count reaches zero?

Because Amyuni does its own Install, we can't use InstallShield's shared mechanism to keep track of this.

We'd rather not have to implement this ourselves.

Merci beaucoup.

Sorry - I just realized this is in the wrong Forum. I'm re-posting to the Developers' Forum.

Wait - did someone transfer this from the C/C++ Developer Forum, to this Forum?

Sorry, I may have not made that clear: I am a developer using the Amyuni SDK. We use InstallShield to launch the Amyuni Install.

We are not using the end-user PDF product.

So, please confirm - did I make a mistake and posted in the wrong Forum, or did someone transfer this post?

Thanks.

Hello,

Since it is not possible to have multiple instances of the PDF Converter installed on the same PC with the same printer name, the install.exe does not need to increment or decrement printer installations.

If you execute the install.exe with a printer name of a printer which already exists on the system, the install.exe will re-install the printer.

Hope this helps?
