Does the CopyFile plugin still work?
I downloaded the CopyFile.zip from http://www.flexerasoftware.com/products/installanywhere/files-utilities.htm, unpacked and placed the "customcode.jar" file in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallAnywhere 2011 Enterprise\plugins" directory. When I restarted IA the plug-in did not appear as an available action.
Am I doing something wrong, or does the plugin not work any more? If it's the latter, has anyone modified the code so it works in 2011? Thanks.

Hi Robin,
InstallAnywhere has an Built-in action "Copy file Action" at install/Uninstall Phase.
Thanks,
Madhav pai

By copying customcode.jar file in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallAnywhere 2011 Enterprise\plugins" directory will not help in creating a plugin. Custom plugin will require a properties file.
Follow the instructions specified in the below link to create a plugin

Thanks Madhav; I was working in the post-install phase and didn't think about copying files in the install phase.
Another thanks to SunnyBoy. I'm not sure what you did to make CopyFile a plugin but it worked. Unfortunately the plugin itself doesn't seem to work with the IA variables I was passing to it. I'm not sure why. I also need to learn how you made it a plugin. The KB you pointed me to will help.
