Compatibility of Installanywhere with the Installshield
dear All,
I have a installshield project.
I want to make use of installanywhere to package it.
so that it can be made instaled cross platforms.
My doubt is can the "installanywhere" able to access the components / File groups that comes as a part of the installshield project. (.ipr )?

As far as I know, the 2 are incompatible (i.e. you would need to rewrite your IS project into IA).

Thanks for your reply
In installshield, we have a concept called component definitions and the file groups, using which the files get packaged dynamically during the build.
Whereas in installanywhere, I found that we need to the add files to the project manually ( by using of Add files button). My doubt is, Is there any way to update these files dynamically?
For Eg: always I want to load certain files from a folder , : Eg : mainfolder\*.*
Rather than adding these files to the project manually, I need to update any configuration file(like a xml or a cdf file). Is there any possible way that installanywhere reads this configuration file (regarding the source of the files) and updates the package dynamically during the build.

For this IA has the speedfolder concept: you simply indicate you want to add all files under mainfolder and it'll do it.
