Deny access to files in installer package
Hello,
i found out that when you run InstallAnywhere installer all data in the installer are available in ZIPed file in temporary directory and anyone can manually extract any file he wants.
We are licensing installation of some components (files) and in this situation licensing can be overriden.
Is there a way how to deny access (encrypt or obfuscate) to files in the installer temporary directory?
Thank you,
Tomas Safarik

You can try adding those files to $DO_NOT_INSTALL$ magic folder
