About the Authoring Environments in InstallAnywhere

InstallAnywhere 2017

InstallAnywhere offers two authoring environments: the Project Wizard and the Advanced Designer.

Project Wizard—The Project Wizard guides you through creating a new installer quickly. Using the Project Wizard, you can build your first installer in less than five minutes. For more details, see Project Wizard.
Advanced Designer—The Advanced Designer provides much finer control over installer functionality. It enables you to define multiple install sets, add customized splash screen graphics, execute commands from within the installation process, set up build configurations, and use many other advanced features. For more details, see Advanced Designer.

The Advanced Designer is the default InstallAnywhere authoring environment.

Information that you enter in the Advanced Designer and the Project Wizard is saved directly to the underlying project file. Any changes you make in the Advanced Designer are reflected in the Project Wizard, and vice-versa.
