Creating a New Build Configuration

InstallAnywhere 2013

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

You can create multiple build configurations in the same InstallAnywhere project, each with different settings. Each build configuration defines how InstallAnywhere builds an installer for a particular set of platforms, build distributions, JVMs, locales, and other settings. You can store as many build configurations with a project as necessary.

To add a new build configuration to a project:

1. In the Advanced Designer, on the Build page, click Build Installers. The Build Installers view opens.
2. Click the Build Configurations tab.
3. Click the Add Build Configuration button. The Add Configuration dialog box opens, prompting you to enter a name for the new build configuration.
4. Enter a name 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:
