Hello,
'Execute Commаnd' in Pre-install should install dependencies mentioned in command. I guess issue occurring might be due to user permission. Are you using root or admin user? Does this user have download permission ?

Summary:
Build Containers feature disabled from InstallAnywhere 2022 R1
Problem:
InstallAnywhere enables users to build docker images from their existing project file. This functionality uses an Open Source component – docker-java 0.10.4. We have noticed that this component now reports several security vulnerabilities.
Solution:
Revenera has chosen to hide the docker functionality, starting InstallAnywhere 2022 R1, by default, to makes sure there is no room for vulnerability exploit. Though the functionality is hidden, it can be enabled. A new property in com.zerog.ia.Designer.properties called designer.build.docker.container is added with default value set as ‘false’ which disables Build Containers. Setting this property to ‘true’ and relaunching the IDE will enable the functionality again.
Though the jar is still shipped from InstallAnywhere, if you are not using Build Containers functionality, the vulnerabilities cannot be exploited.
This feature will be completely End of Life in subsequent releases. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to our technical support team.

Summary:
InstallAnywhere 2022 includes ANT 1.10.12 version. Support for Ant 1.9.9 and below versions is deprecated.
Problem:
Several high and medium security vulnerabilities are detected in ANT 1.9.9 and below version.
ANT libraries can be used as dependencies for execution of scripts while executing ‘Execute Ant Script’ action. Execution of custom ant scripts may get impacted and installers consisting of these actions will be vulnerable.
Solution:
InstallAnywhere 2022 includes latest ANT 1.10.12 version for design time and runtime executions. Latest Ant libraries consist most of the functionalities of older Ant.
Few jars shipped with older InstallAnywhere are not available with latest ANT and are obsolete. These jars are removed.
List of removed older ant jars:
IA_HOME/resource/ant/ant-nodeps.jar
IA_HOME/resource/ant/ant-xslp.jar
IA_HOME/resource/ant/ant-xalan1.jar
IA_HOME/resource/ant/ant-weblogic.jar
IA_HOME/resource/ant/ant-vaj.jar
IA_HOME/resource/ant/ant-trax.jar
IA_HOME/resource/ant/ant-stylebook.jar
IA_HOME/resource/ant/ant-starteam.jar
IA_HOME/resource/ant/ant-icontract.jar
If you intend to use the deprecated ant functionalities or libraries, you’d need to use older version of ant libraries. They could be downloaded over the internet and placed in <IA_HOME>/resource/ant folder.
“Execute ANT Script” action Dependencies will list all jars/ libraries and can be added as external jars using “Add jar or zip”.
Note: If older jar files are added as dependencies, the files will be bundled with installer and have security vulnerabilities.

Hi,
This is by design and is not an error. English language OS will support only western pack languages like French which has same script as English. Chinese, Japanese, Arabic or similar languages are system language specific in IA.
If you need it forcefully added then in Project | JVM Setting | Installer Settings | Additional arguments add " -Dlax.locales=all" , it will start showing all selected languages on any system.
Hope this helps.

InstallAnywhere supports only 4 digit version format by design. Currently there is no way to set it as 3 digit version.
Please open a Flexera ticket to raise enhancement for future release.

Hi,
Upgrade works seamlessly as it uninstalls previous one and install new instance of product. Incase it is overtop installation or Java 8 used is 32 bit then please use "Advanced JRE handling for Version Upgrades" checkbox available under JVM Settings | Installer Settings | Bundled/Downloaded Virtual Machine.
