Creating a New Project

InstallAnywhere 2017

The first step in creating an installer through the Project Wizard consists of entering a name and specifying a location to save the new project.

To create a new project:

1. Launch InstallAnywhere. The New Project panel of the Project Wizard opens, with the Create New Project option selected by default.

Tip • If InstallAnywhere opens in Advanced Designer mode, you can easily switch to Project Wizard mode. To learn how, see Switching from the Project Wizard to the Advanced Designer Environment or Vice-Versa.

2. Click Save As. The Save New Project As dialog box opens. By default, the project is named My_Product.iap_xml.
3. Next to Path, click Go and select the location where you want to save this new project.
4. Click the Save button.
5. Click Next. The Project Info panel of the New Project Wizard opens.

On the Project Info panel, you define basic information about the installer, such as the product name (as displayed on the installer), the name of the installer to be produced, the name of the destination folder, and the application name.
