The installanywhere advanced designer has an intuitive, graphical interface that allows developers to manage all aspects of their installer project. All of the features of InstallAnywhere are available in this easy-to-use, integrated development environment.
To access the InstallAnywhere advanced designer, click the Advanced Designer button after selecting a project file or creating a new project.
The advanced designer is divided into tasks represented by tabs found along the left-hand side of the window. Each tab represents tasks and settings specific to each installation project.
Project: Settings related to your specific project, including general settings, file settings, and localization settings
Installer UI: Settings for adjusting the look and feel of the installer by adding background images, billboards, and other graphical components
Organization: Settings related to the management of install sets, features, components, and merge modules
Files: The manage file installation tree and install time actions
Pre-Install: An ordered sequence of panels and actions that occur before file installation
Post-Install: An ordered sequence of panels and actions that occur after file installation
Pre-Uninstall: An ordered sequence of panels and actions that occur before file uninstallation
Post-Uninstall: An ordered sequence of panels and actions that occur after file uninstallation
