Hi Ramya, Your response leads me to several other questions. 1. I have already defined a variable for the source path, which I named SRC_DIR, and I had to give an absolute path as the value for the variable. My .ico file is in a location covered by this path, but my .iap_xml file still contains the absolute path for the ico. It seems like the "Alias, Shortcut Icon" part of the Create Alias panel is not looking at the path variables. 2. When I created SRC_DIR, I gave a full path within my private copy of my checked project tree. If a different developer opens the IA project in their own directory, they have to define the variable to point that their directory tree. Is it possible for me to define a path variable that references $IA_PROJECT_DIR$ ? In my case, my project has a structure something like: /home/userA/base/make/installanywhere/windows src/ scripts/ resources/ "base" is the root directory for the project, and there are a number of toplevel subdirs inside base. My .iap_xml file is in the 'windows' directory shown first in the list above, so IA_PROJECT_DIR is pointing to that directory. I would like to define a new variable, like SRC_DIR, as $IA_PROJECT_DIR$/../../../src Is that possible? I can't seem to do this using the gui.

Well, I am building an installer for the Windows platform, but I am running InstallAnywhere on a unix machine. It seems like a bad design decision to disable the Installer Icon tab based on the platform where you are running InstallAnywhere, since the tool allows for cross platform kit building.

I am using InstallAnywhere 2011 Enterprise Edition, and I saw in the release notes the section about changing the installer icon. I would like to change the icon for my installer. However, when I go to Installer UI -> Look & Feel, the Installer Icon tab is disabled. Is that expected? How can I enable this feature?

I am using InstallAnywhere 2011, Enterprise Edition to build a kit for Windows. With the Create Alias, Link, Shortcut action, I can use "Alias, Shortcut Icon" to select an icon to use for the shortcut. However, it only allows me to use an absolute filename. We have multiple developers who check out the project into their own directories, and we would like to have all paths be relative so that they resolve to the user's own directory. In general, this works OK using a variable for the base directory. But I have not been able to use the variable when selecting the icon file.

I want to migrate from InstallShield MultiPlatform 11.5 to InstallAnywhere. I am trying to install the Project Manifest plug-in on my HP-UX system, to help in the migration. However, the plug-in installer is failing with the message that it cannot find InstallShield MP 11.5 SP1 on my system. It is installed, but it is installed in a non-standard location. I am guessing that this is tripping the plug-in installer. Is there a way to tell the plug-in kit where to find IS MP 11.5?
