Migration to IA2011 from IA2008

[javadevora]

We have migrated the from IA 2008 to IA2011.

We are using VM packs to be used for building. After migration,
build fails with the error saying VM Pack is not found.

With 2008 the same project was working fine.

I dont think the VM packs should be recreated.

Any ideas.

Did you copy all the VM stuff from \resource\installer_vms to \resource\installer_vms?

You need not to create the VM packs again.

Thanks Mac. Once copying the VMS to installer_vms it worked.

We had the VMs in the project source and so thought IA refers them.

Hi,

Once the VM packs are copied, binaries goes fine, but it looks the custom resource bundle is not bundled with the binary and so facing issue while installing the binary.

We get the below lines once the installer anywhere is called in 2008.

+ tools/InstallAnywhere2008/build project.iap_xml +sv

IAResourceBundle: create resource bundle: en
IAResourceBundle: create resource bundle: en

We don't see these lines in 2011.

What is the issue you are facing? Any error message?

No error messages are displayed. But, this is not bundled.

So, the binary does not work as expected.

IA is automatically copying the original project files and locale files to a _Migrated_Configuration

The locale files were also copied, but does not look like it is creating the resource bundle.

Should we do any changes to project files?
