Please help me understanding that and Can you point us to good document. Let's assume, developer1 made some changes to Installer and delivered to branch1, and developer2 made some other changes and delivered them to branch2. Now, these changes should be merged and pushed to master branch. We are using IA2020 SP2 and project source file is not changed. It's still an XML file(.IAP_XML) and it has unknown/random/unique tags created every time we open installer and save it. It's very cumbersome to merge Installer files.

Hi, We have parallelk development happening for installer changes. But, we are not having pleasant experiences in merging InstallAnywhere code from branch to branch. Do we have any guidelines to follow while merging IA changes ?

That's the problem. There is no proper way to abort installation in Install Anywhere. Abort Install plugin at least should give flexibility for user to define return code, to exit with.

@Flexera_Ian : In this case, how can I abort installation with non-zero return code ? or some status that I can capture ?

Same question, but, how to quit installation with non-zero return code ? @SunnyBoy @wangnijie860304 : Can you help here.

Hi, I am using "AbortInstallAction" plugin to abort installation in case of certain failures. I wonder with what installer status it aborts. Also, what does variables section in this plugin do ? Can you help. Thanks.

Hi, I have execute script resource in my installer and It prints please wait message and it allows me to put some message there under "show intermediate dialog", which is good. My question is can we print the message added under "show intermediate dialog" line by line. Thanks, RDama

I have followed the below document. https://community.flexera.com/t5/InstallAnywhere-Knowledge-Base/Removing-the-Newline-Character-from-Execute-Script-Batch-File/ta-p/3678/jump-to/first-unread-message Defined: MS_SEARCH_AND_REPLACE : all MS_STRING_TO_CONVERT : $timestamp$ MS_SEARCH_STRING : \\n MS_REPLACE_STRING : Output of below variables is printed as null.

I feel the same. I am also planning to get rid of IA in my project.

Hi, I am using below date command to get timestamp and writing it into $logtimestamp$ variable. date +%F_%H_%M_%S Creating a log file with that timestamp. But, strangely I see that "?" character getting added in file name. default_linux_version_2019-10-15_16_13_53?.cfg sometimes default_linux_version_2019-10-15_16_13_53\^J.log Can someone help .

rakesh_dama · ‎Oct 11, 2019

Thanks Ian. $LOG_DIR_LINUX$$/$$Version$$/$ can be "$LOG_DIR_LINUX$/$Version$/" if it is targeted for Linux OS. As per the document we should mark slashes in dollar, if we target OS agnostic installer(multi platform). But, yeah, better to have $/$, as you suggested. I vaguely remember that: If we use $USER_HOME$ or tmp or some standard locations, it is generating log file with timestamps. But, if I use custom IA variable for log location, I don't think it is generating standard logs there. I still have to re-verify this.

rakesh_dama · ‎Oct 11, 2019

That stdout and stderr log, I could not write into the log file that is getting generated by IA with timestamp. By the way can you take a look at abve log settings. and tell if there is a gap.

rakesh_dama · ‎Oct 11, 2019

And, another problem is, Seems like it is looking only if IA is able to execute that resource or not. not the status or return code of that resource. if I put execute script module in installer, though my script fails, it prints installer status as SUCCESS.

rakesh_dama · ‎Oct 10, 2019

Hi Ian, I tried this. It's not reporting anything. Can you see any issue here ? Thanks.

Got help from Support team and would like to post the answer here. Please try uninstalling InstallAnywhere 2017 completely. You will see hidden directory with name InstallAnywhere under user. Back up 'Preferences' folder under 170, 180 or 190 in the user profile (on Windows) or the user's home directory (on Linux). Clear the 170,180 or 190 folder. I have removed IA hidden directory completely from C:\users\rdama and reinstalled. Restart machine and Reinstall IA. It should fix the issue. Thanks to Support team.
