The following is an example of Java code that adds an install directory to the first directory in the Install Sequence. When this sample code is executed on the attached sample project a new folder is created under User Install Folder in the Install Sequence.
package com.company.ProjectAuto;

import com.zerog.ia.auto.project.actions.InstallDirectory;
import com.zerog.ia.auto.project.*;

public class ProjectInstallAuto

    {
        public static void main(String[] args )
        {
            ProjectAutomation.setIALocation("Path it InstallAnywhere installation directory");

            // change to point to your project file
            Project iap = ProjectAutomation.loadProject("Path to project file");


            //Get the First Installation Folder in the tree in install-sequence      
            OSHostDestinationFolder destinationFolder = iap.getOSHost().getFolders().get(0);
            
            //Add a new directory to the Installation Folder   
            InstallDirectory InstDirect = new InstallDirectory();
            destinationFolder.getChildren().add(InstDirect);

            //save and close the project
            ProjectAutomation.saveProject(iap);
            System.exit(0);
        }
    }
