Creating a New Appliance Configuration

InstallAnywhere 2021

You can create multiple appliance configurations in the same InstallAnywhere project, each with different settings. Each appliance configuration defines how InstallAnywhere builds a virtual appliance for a particular target hypervisor, VM template, set of hardware requirements, and other settings. You can store as many build configurations with a project as necessary.

To add a new appliance configuration to a project:

1. In the Advanced Designer, on the Build page, click Build Appliances. The Build Appliances view opens.
2. Click the Appliance Configuration tab.
3. Click the Add Appliance Configuration button. The Add Configuration dialog box opens, prompting you to enter a name for the new appliance configuration.
4. Enter a name and click OK.

The name must be 60 characters or fewer, and it must not contain any of the following characters: asterisk (*), question mark (?), period (.), backslash (\), or forward slash (/).

InstallAnywhere adds the new appliance configuration and selects it in the Select Build Configuration list. Configure the build configuration’s settings as needed. To learn more, see:
