Java FX Applications Installing in Same Directory

Question

I have two separate JavaFX Applications that I am deploying as native Windows exe using the method described here but with the install option set to true so that it installs in the C: drive, not app data. For some reason both applications install into the same directory and both use the same uninstall file which poses a serious problem for me. The directory it installs into is whatever program is installed first. For example, if I install Program1 first they both install into C:/Program Files/Program1. If Program2 is installed first they both install into C:/Program Files/Program2. They both have their default directories set in the Inno Setup file and they are different. Anyone ever run into this problem before? Thanks!

Here is the Inno Setup file that is generated from the ant build on Program 1

;I.e. current directory will contain folder Program1 with application files

Answer 1

Okay, I cannot believe I didn't see it before but the issue is the AppId

The build.fxbuild sets the id to fxApplication by default, manually edit the build.fxbuild to have a unique app id . There are a few other places in the build.fxbuild that reference fxApplication so make sure to change those as well

<fx:application id="UNIQUE_NAME_HERE"
... />
