Hi prabhu_jey, To display a warning dialog box we will have to use a "Show Message Dialog" action instead of Jump to target action. Add the "Show Message Dialog" action just after the Get user input panel. Customize title, label & message. For Button 0 , select "Return to Previous panel" option. Attach the above Match Regular expression rule to "Show Message Dialog" action. $INPUT_PASS$ Does not match [0-9a-zA-Z]{6,} Dialog box will now be shown when validation fails. Screenshot_3.png attached. Hope this helps.

Hi , Add the regular expression [0-9a-zA-Z]{6,} without double quotes. Add a "Add Jump Label" action above the Get User Input panel & add a "Jump to Target" action after the Get User Input panel. Set its jump to target to the Jump label created. Add Match Regular expression rule to "Jump to Target" action : $INPUT_PASS$ Does not match [0-9a-zA-Z]{6,} Navigation will now be done to the next panel only if the password matches the regular expression. Hope this helps.

Download File Action can be used to download file using FTP, HTTP or SFTP. InstallAnywhere IDE->Sequence->Install->Add Action->DownloadFileAction. Execute Command action can be used to run executable files as you would from the target system’s command line. InstallAnywhere IDE->Sequence->Install->Add Action->General->Execute Command. And check platform rule can be applied to restrict an action to run on a particular OS. After adding the action, rule can be applied to the action as follows: Select the action. Rules tab->Add Rule->Check Platform->Add. In the customizer, "Perform On" list can be configured. Once this rule is applied, Execute Command action will execute only in the configured platforms. Can add multiple Execute command actions and apply rule.

Project source file should be .iap_xml file and it is in the format required for InstallAnywhere. This format has not been changed. An issue was noticed wherein the Order of <object class="com.zerog.ia.installer.util.LAXPropertyData"> project XML tag was changing with every save of project making source control merges of projects difficult. Further there has been an issue with ObjectIDs of VMWareCredentialInformationImp & few other xml tags changing on every project save/load. These merge issues has been fixed in InstallAnywhere 2020SP2. When you do merge of the project file you are noticing similar issue? Can you provide info on the random xml tags that are getting created? Can you please do a diff & share the screen shot of the unknown tags created on open/save of project file?

Hi emalloy, In case you are using Speed Folder, it has known issue when configured to install archive file with size more than 4GB. But in such scenario it throws an exception whereas no exception is seen in the details mentioned. One scenario where installer continuously asks for a new location, even when adequate space is available, is when a payload attached is corrupted. An installer with a corrupted payload launches, then repeatedly prompts the user for a new location in an endless loop. Verify that the added files are not corrupted. After replacing the corrupted files if the issue still persist raise a support ticket.

Hi @jakobsachs, The issue seen is due to the use of 32 Bit java for Windows 64 Bit installer. Have to use 64 Bit java. Please verify that the java used/bundled is 64 Bit. Try using LAX_VM parameter to override the JRE that the installer uses as follows: <InstallerName> LAX_VM <full_path_to_64Bit_java_executable> Eg: install.exe LAX_VM "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-9\bin\java.exe" And Windows OS should be 64 bit. Windows Pure 64 Bit installers cannot be run on 32-bit Windows-based systems.

This seems to be due to the uninstaller's inability to delete HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT keys when its default(Default) value is set. If default registry value is not set, the HKEY_ROOT keys added are getting deleted on uninstall, when Uninstall Options in the "Set Windows Registry - Multiple Entries" action is set to "Force removal even if values has changed". The keys with default value set are not deleted but seems false positive is seen in log. Since file association keys require setting default value, The workaround will be to : set Uninstall options to "Do not Uninstall" and add a script to delete the keys in Sequence->Uninstall phase. or set Uninstall options to "Force removal even if values has changed" and add a script in Uninstall phase to delete only default values of the keys and let the uninstaller to remove the keys. Sequence->Uninstall->Add Action->General->Execute Script/Batch file. To get Uninstall log, enable logging as belows: In InstallAnywhere designer->Project-> General Setting-> Enable Logging -> select yes Select install checkbox & uninstall checkbox The log file will be found in the <InstallDir>/Logs folder after install/uninstall.

Yes, it will also require user action. In Console mode, all panels in pre/post-install sequence require user action to proceed. Important Note & Display message panels will also require user action. This is as per design in console mode installation.

In Console mode installation, panels in post-install phase are designed to accept user action , whether to continue or exit. As a workaround : If it is a simple installer with only Install complete panels in the post-install phase, To disable the status message & the "PRESS <ENTER> TO EXIT THE INSTALLER:" message in Console installer mode & let it finish automatically, Remove the Install Complete Panel found in Post-install sequence. InstallAnywhere Designer->Sequence->Post-Install->Action Group: Console actions-> Select panel "Console : Install Complete : Installation Complete" -> Remove

Log file path entry is appearing as log is enabled for the installation. Can hide this by either setting logging to off General Settings->Enable Logging->No or Keeping logging ON & setting InstallAnywhere Designer->Project->General Settings-> Log Settings->Include Debug output(stderr & stdout) ->Yes The log entry along with other standard messages will now be written to the log file and it wont be shown in the console.

Silent installation does not accept any User Input. In silent installation this can be achieved by setting an Installer Rule & passing values as command line arguments. 1. Add an Installer Rule InstallAnywhere Designer->Project->Installer Rules-> Add Rule->Compare InstallAnywhere Variables set Operand 1- $PASSWORD_1$ select "equals" Operand 2- $PASSWORD_2$ 2. Run Silent installation as follows: <installerName> -i silent -DVariable1=value1 -DVariable2=value2 Eg: install.exe -i silent -DPASSWORD_1=password1 -DPASSWORD_2=password2 Result: Only if values passed to $PASSWORD_1$ and $PASSWORD_2$ are same installation happens.

This can be achieved using "Add Jump Label" & "Jump to Target" actions found in Install & Post Install Sequence. Add a Jump Label Action just before Panel3. Name it, for Example, "JumpPanel3". Add a "Jump to Target" action after Panel 1 & Set the Next Jump action as JumpPanel3 & add a rule to this action checking the selection status of the Checkbox. Below are the steps for the sample , where I am using Get User Input- simple panel (Panel 1) to capture the user input of the checkbox. 1. Add a Get User Input - Simple Panel (Panel 1) from InstallAnywhere Designer->Sequence->Pre-Install->Add Action->Panels 2. In Get User Input Panel change Input Method to "CheckBoxes" 3. Set Results Variable as $USER_INPUT_1$ 4. Select Configure Button and Select "Add" 5. Give Label: CheckBox_1 Default Value: Not Selected 6. Add Panel 2 7. Add Panel 3 8. Add a "Add Jump Label" Action (NOTE : Add this just ABOVE Panel 3) from InstallAnywhere Designer->Sequence->Pre-Install->Add Action-> General->Add Jump Label 9. Enter Label as "JumpToPanel3" and add a description 10. Add "Jump To Target" Action (Note : Add this Just AFTER Get User Input Panel or Panel 1) from InstallAnywhere Designer->Sequence->Pre-Install ->Add Action->General->Jump to Target 11. In the action, For Next Jump Action choose Jump Label "JumpToPanel3". 12. In the same action, Select Rules tab -> Add Rule --> Compare InstallAnywhere Variables Enter Operand1 - $USER_INPUT_1$ Select "equals" from the Drop down Enter Operand2 - "CheckBox_1" (not to miss double quotes) Result will be : If Checkbox is Selected will move to Panel 3 directly from Panel 1 If Checkbox is not Selected will move to Panel 2 Hope this example helps.

Hi Bhuvana, Your installer is running in GUI mode. The popups can be avoided with silent mode installation. What error you are getting when you try setup.exe -i silent? Can you please share the screenshot of the error displayed? You were able to enable silent mode in InstallAnywhere designer->Installer UI ->Look & Feel Settings-> General UI Settings->Allowable UI Modes?
