Using the Rules Manager to Create Complex Rule Expressions at the Project Level

InstallAnywhere includes a rule expression manager on the Manage Expressions view of the Project page which allows installer authors to:

• Create complex rule expressions at the project level
• Combine multiple rules and save them to a single rule expression
• Reuse a rule or a set of rules across the project
• Associate a rule expression to a file extension, including the option to automatically associate the rule expression to a file whenever a file containing that file extension is added to the project
• Remove associated rules from custom file extensions

The following sections provide procedures for various functionality that you can do with project level rule expressions:

• Configuring and Saving a New Rule Expression
• Associating a Rule Expression to a File Extension
• Loading a Rule Expression
• Deleting a Saved Rule Expression
