  • Duplicate File Names

    My application requires files with the same name, but different content, to be installed into different directories. 4.xx supported this behavior with no effort on my part (just add them to the list). 5.0 however, seems to take the first file for each file name and uses it for all of the files with the same name. Am I doing something wrong?

    Re: Duplicate File Names

    Hi,
    You are able to add files with the same name in Setup Factory 5.0 as long as you do not grab them from the same directory. In fact Windows disallows two files having the same name from residing in the same directory. Simply store the two files, with the same name, in different directories, and everything should work fine.

      Mark,
      I think my problem is the files I am speeking of contain/are icons (type .ico). It looks like SetupFactory's main window (where the files are displayed with some details and an icon) is using the icon of the first file as the icon for all of the files. As a result I thought they all contained the same data/icon. I think the actual install does produce all of the files in the correct directories, and of course Windows displays the icons for the icon files correctly. Sorry for the confusion and thank you for your reply.
