Copying a Build Configuration

InstallAnywhere 2013

Edition: Build configuration support is available in the Premier edition of InstallAnywhere.

InstallAnywhere provides the ability to copy a build configuration in a project. Copying creates a new build configuration with the same settings as the original build configuration. You can modify the copied build configuration as needed without modifying the original build configuration.

You may want to create one build configuration with the appropriate default settings, and to use it as a template to create additional build configurations that have slight changes from the default values.

To copy a build configuration:

1. In the Advanced Designer, on the Build page, click Build Installers. The Build Installers view opens.
2. Click the Build Configurations tab.
3. In the Select Build Configuration list, select the build configuration that you want to copy.
4. Click the Copy Build Configuration button. The Copy Configuration dialog box opens.
5. Enter a name for the new build configuration and click OK.

The name must be 60 characters or fewer, and it must not contain any of the following characters: asterisk (*), question mark (?), period (.), backslash (\), or forward slash (/).

InstallAnywhere adds the new build configuration and selects it in the Select Build Configuration list. Configure the build configuration’s settings as needed. To learn more, see:
