Debugging During Installer Development
InstallAnywhere 2022
When you are debugging an installer at design time, you can use various debugging features. InstallAnywhere provides two primary types of debug output:
| • | Installer Debug Output—This output provides information that is relevant to debugging issues with the installer run time on various platforms. To obtain this output, define values for the Send stderr to and Send stdout to settings in your project (Advanced Designer > Project page > General Settings view > Logs area). These settings let you direct debug output to the console or to a file or by setting lax.stderr and lax.stdout properties for a launcher. To learn how to obtain the debug output after you have created your installer, see Debugging During Post-Development. |
| • | Output from the Output Debug Information Action—The data that this action returns is useful for debugging the logic of your installer. For example, you can use this feedback to determine the values of InstallAnywhere variables, magic folders, and Java properties. This can help ascertain the cause of unexpected file deployment/panel flow events. It also lets you choose what type of debug output you receive. |
