Enabling Maintenance Mode

InstallAnywhere 2020

To enable maintenance mode support and identify an installer’s supported maintenance mode options, use Advanced view on the Project page of your project.

To enable maintenance mode support and identify supported options:

1. In the Advanced Designer, on the Project page, click Advanced. The Advanced view opens.
2. In the Maintenance Mode area, select the Enable Maintenance Mode support check box. InstallAnywhere enables the maintenance option check boxes, enabling you to select or clear each of them.
3. In the Maintenance options list, select the check boxes for the options that you want your installer to provide. You must select at least one check box; otherwise, a build error occurs.

For descriptions of each of the maintenance options, see Advanced View.

Tip • You can assign a Check Running Mode rule to associate elements of your installation project with the maintenance mode options. For example, you may want to add a Check Running Mode rule to an action that should not be executed during the Repair phase. For more information, see About Check Running Mode Rules.
