Help View

InstallAnywhere 2020 » Advanced Designer » Installer UI

Use the Help view on the Installer UI page to add help functionality to your installer. To add help, select the Enable installer help check box in this view. Selecting HTML instead of plain text for the format allows for greater formatting control of the message.

If the Use the same help text for all panels option in this view is selected, you can define a single help message for your installer.

To have different help instructions for each installer panel, select the Use different help for each text panel option. The action customizer, available at the bottom of the Install, Pre-Install, Post-Install, Pre-Uninstall, and Post-Uninstall views on the Sequence page, has a Help Settings tab for adding or modifying HTML or text for each installer panel. When Use different help for each text panel is selected, the Help Settings tab in the action customizer is enabled.

Important • If you enable installer help and supply help for installer panels, do not include <META> tags in the HTML code of the help panels. An InstallAnywhere installer is unable to display help pages that contain <META> tags.
