Add the following panels to your installation and rebuild to investigate their appearance and configuration options.
1. | Add a Choose File panel. This panel requests that the user select a file, either by typing in the full pathname or by browsing. The panel may require the user to browse to select the file. You name the InstallAnywhere variable the panel returns by entering it into the Selected File field. The directory where the file is located will also be returned to the variable named by the Parent Folder field. |
2. | Add a Choose Folder panel. This panel requests that the user select a folder, much in the same way the Choose File panel works. The panel returns a variable you name in the Selected Folder field. You may also check to see if you have write permissions for the chosen folder. |
3. | Add a Choose Java Virtual Machine panel. This panel searches for a JVM on the target system. The panel may also prompt the user to install a VM. |
4. | Add a Find File/Folder panel. The Find File/Folder panel conducts searches on the target system, depending on a number of criteria that the developer may define. The InstallAnywhere variable the panel returns is named in the Results Variable field. |
5. | |
6. | Add a Display Message panel to exhibit the Results variables from each of your previous panels. |
7. | Build and run your installer. |
Console installs and their associated actions will be covered in Chapter 13.
