Using the IABookstore Sample for Creating Virtual Appliances

InstallAnywhere 2020

The IABookStore is a free-to-use J2EE sample along with its corresponding InstallAnywhere project that is shipped along with InstallAnywhere to help you explore the functionality of virtual appliances.

Note • Before you open the IABookStore project for building its virtual appliance, you need to copy the Linux JDK 6 VM pack (Sun JRE 1.6.0_26) to the $IA_HOME$\resource\installer_vms directory.

You can download this VM pack from the Flexera Web site: https://www.flexera.com/producer/products/software-installation/installanywhere/tab/files-utilities. First click Linux Intel (x86) and then download Sun JRE 1.6.0_26 Linux (32-bit) INTEL.

To use this sample to create virtual appliances, open the InstallAnywhere project, use the settings in the credential area on the Appliance Configuration tab (in the Build Appliances view on the Build page) to define account settings for your environment, and build the virtual appliance.

Important • After you have added the installer to your project via the Installers subtab of the VM Configuration tab in the Build Appliances view, edit the product’s entry on the Product Properties subtab. To do so, click the View/Edit button on the Product Properties subtab; the Edit Installer Properties Table dialog box opens. Make the following changes:
