We need to implement download functionality during installation process. Actions are something like: collect user URL, invoke download, show download cancelabe progress.
Does InstallAnywhere contains such download component?

InstallAnywhere scott.a.mckinstry [USA] 30-Nov-2009 14:41:10

I need to create an Install that either, Installs my product to the Users Hard Drive or Run the Product from the CD-ROM.

In the Pre-Install I put in Get User Input panel with the question Install or Run. The results are stored in $USER_INPUT_RESULTS$

In the Install panel I added a rule to the the User Install Folder group (this is the top group in that panel) to Compare InstallAnywhereVariable $USER_INPUT_RESULTS$ = Install

When I run the program and choose Install from the Get User Input panel, Nothing is installed to the hard drive. It is almost as if the variable is not evaluated at all. I put in an Output Debug Panel and can see that the $USER_INPUT_RESULTS$ variable is set correctly.

It seems the Install panel is not evaluating this variable.

Any suggestions how I can get the install actioin to happen when the $USER_INPUT_RESULTS$ value equals Install

Installation of Multilingual installer tamanna_gupta [India] 12-May-2009 09:04:20

Hi All,

I have created a Installer in English, French, Chinese and Japanese Locales and then run the installer in other than English locale (OS is in English locale) i.e. French.
Mentioned below are my queries:

1.The browsing dialog takes the path of file/folder in English not in French locale.
Does it mean that this is the functionality of InstallAnywhere to take the browsing path or value from registry in English locale only whatever locale is selected for the installation?

2. I have installed Windows XP in Japanese locale on system and found the environment variables, registry entries and drive's path in English only not in japanese.
Is this the general behavior for all locales i.e. the registry, environment variables and drive path always occur in English locale?

3. As i have given the support of English, French, Chinese and Japanese Locales to the installer but while installing it on English OS it gives the option of choosing locale as English and French only not other two. Is it due to not supporting of Chinese and Japanese characters on my OS? I have changed the regional and language setting on my system to support all east Asian locales.

Could anyone please let me the answer of these queries?

Thanks and Regards,
Tamanna

InstallAnywhere akoliya.bhavesh [India] 08-Apr-2009 12:45:13

Hi all,

I have created an installer for an application using InstallAnywhere for Mac OS. I want my application to run as root after installation. I can run my application using "sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mycompany.mydaemon.plist" command.

In installer I tried using executing command/script but it works only in 10.4.11 ppc, not with 10.5.4 intel. I want to set some file permissions/ownerships also but it doesnt work. Installer can be run only from admin users and it prompt for password for root priviledges.

Is there anyway to run application as root using command or script in installer?

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Bhavesh

RE: InstallAnywhere support@componentsource.com 22-Apr-2009 09:05:00

For Mac OS X, the end user of InstallAnywhere could check the Requires an Administrator Name and Password to Install checkbox under Project > Platforms > Mac OS X > Authentication in the IDE in Advanced Designer mode. The first dialog would display a message stating that administrative credentials are required to install. The user would need to enter those credentials after clicking the lock icon. After a successful authentication, the installer would run with elevated administrative privileges.

However, there is not functionality for automatically prompting the user for the root credentials and elevating the installation to root privileges for Linux and Mac OS X. The only workaround would be to display that Show Message Dialog or set a project rule as described below. If the end user is concerned that the users will not know how to switch users prior to launching the installer, I suggest adding instructions on how to do so in the Show Message Dialog or in the message associated with the project rule.

If the end user is only targeting Linux and Mac OS X, the end user could set a Compare InstallAnywhere Variables Rule under Project > Rules that checks whether the Java property stored in $prop.user.name$ equals root.

Otherwise, the end user could add a Show Message Dialog instead as the first panel in the Pre-Install Task with the same rule. The end user would need to configure the Show Message Dialog so that it only displays a Cancel button that is set to Cancel and Exit.

In either case, the installer would need to display a message stating that the user is not root, so the installation cannot continue or something to that effect.

Hi,

I am using Installanywhere 2009 enterprise edition.

While making Installer I have selected UI as
Go to Installer UI-->Look & Feel-->General UI settings->Allowable UI Modes : all the modes have been selected (GUI,Console,Silent).

But the General Action "Execute Uninstaller" with "always run silently" option is not working in Mac OS X.
I have selected Uninstaller UI mode as "always run silently" in "Execute Uninstaller" General Action but my uninstaller always runs with GUI while executing the installer.

My requirement is:
While invoking the installer of my product I am checking if the product is already installed then my installer first uninstall the previous installed version and then it installs the newer version.
To do uninstallation of previous version I am using " Execute Uninstaller" General Action with "always run silently" option because I don't want to open two dialogs(one installer dialog and another uninstaller dialog) at a time. I want silent uninstallation of my previous version.

"Execute Uninstaller" General Action is working fine on Windows. But on Mac OS X it is not working as per given option.

Please do the needful.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I am using installanywhere2009 enterprise edition.
I am not able to change the default color of Labels present in Installing panel. I did following steps to change the labels.

-Go to Installer UI->Look & feel->General UI setting->Installer Frame
-Set "Titles,Lables, and Installanywhere Logo color" -->Choose "Red" color.

Now in preview or while doing the actual installation of setup only I am getting 'titles' and 'installanywhere Logo" in RED color but Lables in Black color always.
I want to change the following labels color which are presents in the Panel.

-Introduction
-Choose Install Folder
-Choose Shortcut Folder
-Pre-Installation Folder
-Installing
-Install Complete

According to me this could be the issue in Installanywhere 2009 enterprise.

Hi,

I have installed Installanywhere2009 on Mac 10.5.4 system. I am getting issue with uninstaller of created installer on Mac OS 10.5.4.

Scenario:

I tried very simple thing. Created one default sample installer on Mac machine 10.5.4 for MAC OS. checked "Authentication" require check box for MAC OS X. Build the installer(Installer name is "My Product.app") for MAC and Installed it on MAC system.It prompts for authentication and installed perfectly.
When I invoke the uninstaller of "My Product" from installed folder it removes all the files of "My Product" from a system and created folder "My Product" that is fine.But with that it also removes the installer file "My Product.app" using which I installed the "My Product" application. Uninstaller should not remove the installation file(My Product.app) otherwise how can I install the same product second time.

If I do the same thing except do unchecked the "Authentication" require then it's work fine. No issue at all.

I need to check that "Authentication" require check box of my installer for MAC OS.

Please do the needful.

Hello,

Here is the reply I have received from Acresso regarding your query, please reply with your email address so I can send you the code:

Sorry for the late reply. There is no default method of changing the look and feel of the installers, but you can change it through custom code.
I'm sending you the custom code I wrote and also an installer I've created which uses the custom code. It looks like the JVM chooses the Windows look and feel by default. In the custom code, I print out the default look and feel as well as all the available look and feels. Then I set the look and feel to the first in the list, which should be a metal look and feel. When you run the installer, the first panel should have the default look and feel and the second panel will have the metal look and feel.

RE: InstallAnywhere support@componentsource.com 25-Feb-2009 11:21:25

Incident Description:
The issue is most likely that the resource fork from your Mac binary file is being stripped. This is an issue with Java. In order to resolve this, you will most likely want to zip up the application prior to building it into your installer. At install time, you can then install the zip file and extract it. This should allow the application to retain its resource fork. Please see the following Knowledge Base articles for a further discussion.

Q000198: INFO: How to Maintain Mac Resource Forks
Products
InstallAnywhere Enterprise 6.0x, InstallAnywhere Enterprise 6.1x, InstallAnywhere Enterprise 7.0x, InstallAnywhere Enterprise 7.1x, InstallAnywhere Enterprise 8.0x, InstallAnywhere Standard 6.0x, InstallAnywhere Standard 6.1x, InstallAnywhere Standard 7.0x, InstallAnywhere Standard 7.1x, InstallAnywhere Standard 8.0x

Summary
Mac files have two forks, a resource fork, and a data fork. Adding a Mac file to InstallAnywhere, and installing it through Java will strip away the resource fork. This will cause the file to be corrupted and rendered unusable.

Discussion
The way around this is to "MacBinary" each Mac file that needs to be installed. You may then put the file down by using an Expand Archive action. You may only put a single file in each .bin file. Java can not expand multiple files inside a .bin file when using the Expand Archive action.

You may archive multiple files in to a .sit file (Stuffit Archive). You may also use the Expand Archive action on these files as well. Since Java can't expand a .sit file, we pass this responsibility to Stuffit Expander. NOTE: Stuffit Expander defaults to "put multiple files into a folder" on expansion of a multi-file archive. Also, if the file already exists in the destination location, the new file will be expanded and named "yourfile.1" To avoid this, please delete the original file first.

Keep in mind if you are building for Mac, that you may only have 31 characters in the file name. Java allows more than this, and not realizing this can cause errors. In particular, make sure that the Uninstaller name is not longer than 31 characters.

I guess it loses it's launching properties after being installed using an installer.

This might be a problem because 2008 does not support Mac Binary files.IA 7.0 has this support.but can I do the same in IA 2008.Please reply asap.

Since Java can't expand a .sit file, we pass this responsibility to Stuffit Expander. NOTE: Stuffit Expander defaults to "put multiple files into a folder" on expansion of a multi-file archive. Also, if the file already exists in the destination location, the new file will be expanded and named "yourfile.1" To avoid this, please delete the original file first.

Keep in mind if you are building for Mac, that you may only have 31 characters in the file name. Java allows more than this, and not realizing this can cause errors. In particular, make sure that the Uninstaller name is not longer than 31 characters.

Hi all

Recently I had upgraded my packaging tool from InstallShield MP 11.5 to InstallAnywhere.
I'm trying to build the InstallAnywhere project through command line. For InstallShield we used "com.installshield.isje.ISJE'. what should I use for InstallAnywhere?

Thanks & Regards
