c# - Allowing a user to run multiple copies of the same program

Question

My customer has my VS2008 Windows Forms application installed. He wants to be able to run multiple copies of it on the same PC. The first time he selects the program icon, it starts and runs fine. When he tries to start a second version of the same program, nothing happens.

There's no problem with computer resources. The program collects data from a custom USB device. When he wants to collect data from a second device, he wants to start another copy of the application running. There could be > 2 devices attached needing application programs running. In the days of VB6, this wasn't a problem.

Any suggestions short of installing multiple copies of the application?

Answer 1

这通常通过项目设置来控制。

要解决此问题，请打开项目的属性，选择应用程序节点并确保Make single instance application未选中。
