Hi, I created some Custom Code actions and Custom code panels and compiled to a single jar file. Custom Code Actions are working file. However, the created Custom Code Panel extending the class CustomCodePanel has following issues that I need to resolve. 1. I did override the getTitle() method and set to a required title. It is displayed on the interface itself. but not in the list of items in the install steps which is on left side of the interface. 2. Once I press next button I can not go back by clicking the previous button. This tutorial gave me the basic idea to create the custom code panel. I have attached the example interface for reference. Can anyone give me any idea how to fix these issues please. Development Env: NetBeans Apache NetBeans IDE 12.5 Java: 11.0.7 InstallAnywhere: 2021 SP2 Build 6597 Thank you

I found that the Install Complete panel has the launch settings tab. 1. Check the check box (Launch the target application on successful installation) 2. Check the radio button (Specify a command) 3. Add the command as ($USER_INSTALL_DIR$$/$app.exe) in the available input box By doing this user can get the option check box to Launch the application after the install completes conditionally. The only problem was the target application is automatically running before pressing the DONE button if I select the Launch Application check box and press the BACK button to change or review the installation and come back by pressing the NEXT button to the install complete window. Steps to re-create the issue: 1. Install the application and come to the install complete window 2. Check the Launch Application check box 3. Do not press the DONE button 4. Press the back button instead 5. Review previous installation options 6. Click next until the Install successful interface appear. There, the target application is automatically running without pressing the DONE button. My question is to stop the running installed application until I press the DONE button and exit from the installer. Thank you

Hi, I have added an Action to Execute a Target File in order to run the installed application.exe after the installer completes. This is fine and it runs the application after the installation completes. Now I need to add a check box to ask the user to launch the application or finalize the installer without launching the application: If checked: Execute the Target File action and exit from the installer. If not checked: Exist from the installer without running the application.exe My InstallAnywhere version is: 2021 SP2 Regards.

Hi, I have configured a installer project. Now the default install location is Ex: C:\Program Files\$PRODUCT_NAME$ When the user select a custom install location it would be Ex: F:\test In this case if the user accidentally select a folder containing other files/folders, when the application is uninstalled, all the contents in the folder will be deleted. This is a major issue. What I wanted to do is, add the $PRODUCT_NAME$ folder to custom install location, when the user select a custom install location. So that the final custom install location would be Ex: F:\test\$PRODUCT_NAME$ Please help and guide to achieve this in the installer configuration window or adding a plugin if impossible. Thank you.

Hi, I need to run a Post-Install action to update a .ENV file with a file path by opening a choose folder dialog box by the end-user. In the .ENV file, I have the following key-value pair separated by the equal sign as the data path. DATA_ROOT=<C:\path\to\data\folder> Once the user selects the folder I need to update the <C:\path\to\data\folder> in the .ENV file. How can I do this as a Post-Install action? InstallAnywhere Version is: 2021 SP2 Thank you very much
