Adding Actions to the Install Sequence

InstallAnywhere 2018

You can add actions directly into the file and folder hierarchy that is shown in the Install view on the Sequence page of your project. Actions are sequence specific, so the actions that are available for the Install sequence are different than those that are available for other sequences. The actions that are available in the Install sequence create folders and aliases, copy or delete files and folders, expand folders, or add functionality—like creating LaunchAnywhere launchers or adding platform-specific actions.

To add actions to the Install sequence:

1. In the Advanced Designer, on the Sequence page, click Install. The Install view opens.
2. Click the Add Action button. The Choose an Action dialog box opens.
3. Click the action you want to add, and then click the Add button. InstallAnywhere adds the action to the Visual Tree. The Choose an Action dialog box remains open, enabling you to add additional actions as needed.
4. Use the arrow keys to move the action up or down in the action list.

To specify an action’s settings, select the action and use its customizers at the bottom of the view. For detailed information on each action’s customizer settings, see Actions.
