Organization Page

InstallAnywhere 2024 R2 » Advanced Designer

Use the Organization page in the Advanced Designer to arrange install sets, product features, components, and merge modules. Install sets and features enable end users to customize which parts of your product they install. Install sets are groupings of features such as Typical Install or Minimal Install. Each feature in a project is made up of one or more components. A component is the smallest installable part of a product from the installation developer’s perspective; components are invisible to the end user. Components may be much more than files; they can be sophisticated actions that are required to install and run applications or features properly.

Once you add an install set in the Install Sets view of your project, you can use the Features view to assign features to that install set. When you add a feature in the Features view of your project, you can use the Components view to assign components to that feature. Once you add a component in the Components view of your project, and once files and actions are included in the Install view on the Sequence page, you can use the Components view to assign the files and actions to the component.
