Creating a New Project

InstallAnywhere 2024 R2

The first step is to create a new project and open it in the InstallAnywhere interface.

To create a new project:

1. Launch InstallAnywhere. The InstallAnywhere Create/Open Project dialog box opens.
2. Click the Create new project button. The Create a New Project dialog box opens.
3. Select the Basic Project Template. This template should already be selected by default.
4. Enter a Project Name and Project Path. By default, the project is named My_Product.iap_xml.
5. Click OK. The newly created project file is open in InstallAnywhere on the Project > General Settings view.

In the General Settings view, you set basic installer options such as the name of the product, the installer title, and the installer name. InstallAnywhere uses the installer name for the name of the executable file that it creates for your installer. This view also sets the location to build the installer and the settings for the generation of installation logs.

6. In the Product Name setting, enter OfficeSuitePro.
7. In the Installer Title setting, enter OSPro.
8. On the Sequence page, click Pre-Install. The Pre-Install view opens. Proceed with the steps in Adding Pre-Install Actions.
