DYNAMIC INSTALLER(build.properties)
Hi All,
As we are creating a dynamic installer through "build.properties" using Properties file reader plugin.By using "build.properties" we can change another product installer by giving diffrent ProductName,shortcutName,Diffrent registry entry etc..
But we are unable to provide diffrent PRODUCT VERSION, PRODUCT ID,SPLASH SCREEN,DLL HANDLING THROUGH INSTALLER.
does any work in .properties file or if there is any work arround to get "PRODUCT VERSION", "PRODUCT ID","SPLASH SCREEN","DLL HANDLING" dynamically as our requirement is not to create installer again and again for future product of the same type but diffrent version.
Regards
Sudeep

I only did product version but I've got a stupid little java program trawling the .iap_xml file for lines containing "productVersion" and replacing stuff on later lines textually. Tried using the java XML tools for this instead (which would be more robust) but that failed because IA treats differently than , which the XML parsers did not preserve.
It does seem pretty ridiculous that you can't parameterize your installers better.
