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. ... View more

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.   ... View more

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

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. ... View more

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. ... View more
