Hi List,

I have a situation where in my two packages are dependent on a native service.

I want to install the native service when I install my package. I can have any one of the packages installed or even both can be installed.

In second case, i.e. both packages are installed. I would have installed the service thru 1st package. 

Now when I install second package, it reports of the error that APPID is not unique and aborts the installation process.

What can I do so that the 2nd installation doesn’t abort, instead it can see is the service is already installed, then ignore the same.

OR.. can Alias be helpful here? I don’t know how aliases work?

regards,

Ashwini
