how to use variables in buildOutputLocation
sorry if i'm in the right place.
InstallAnywhere 2018SP1 question:
I manually set buildOutputLocation in *.ia_xml to use $IA_PROJECT_DIR$
<property name="buildOutputLocation">
<string><![CDATA[$IA_PROJECT_DIR$\CompassInstall_Build_Output\Default_Configuration]]></string>
</property>
But IA always expands it to actual path when Save.
How can I prevent IA from expanding it?
Thanks much,

Hi,
Have you tried setting buildOutputLocation from IDE?
No need to set it manually in *.ia_xml, just set the required build output path in InstallAnywhere IDE.
Project>General Settings>Project Information>Build Location
Browse the desired location and build the installer. Build output should be in selected path.
