[wix-users] Allowing side-by-side installations

[Hoover, Jacob]

You could look at instance transforms, but they are obscure and not commonly used as they bring their own headaches.

Subject: [wix-users] Allowing side-by-side installations

So I have written custom actions that will allow me to install web applications next to each other.  However, I have to re-build a new installer with a unique GUID every time I want to install a new version.
Basically, I want to change "Modify" mode to treat it as a new Installation.  I Have started on some work, but I feel like I am making it more complicated than it needs to be.

Is there an easy way to treat a Modify or Reinstall like a new Install?
