Description

Template Buttons

Choose one of the following templates to base your new project on:

• Basic Project Template
• Typical Project Template
• Quick Install Template
• Sample Dependency Template
• Console Project Template

A template is simply a merge module that has been placed within the iatemplates folder inside the InstallAnywhere installation folder.

Templates are generally used as starting points for installer projects. Installer items that remain unchanged such as the license agreement panel would be saved in an InstallAnywhere template. You may also want to create a template to maintain the look and feel for your installer projects.

Other Template

Click to open the Choose Template dialog box, where you can select a custom template (iam.zip).

Project Name

Enter a name for this new project. By default, the project name is My_Product_n.iap_xml.

Project Path

Enter or browse to the location where you want to save this project file.

Create project file in ‘Project Name’ subfolder

Select this option to save the project file in a subfolder of the selected Project Path that matches the Project Name.

For example, if the name of your project file was ABCProduct.iap_xml, and the path was C:\InstallAnywhere 2022 Projects, the full path to the new project file would be:

C:\InstallAnywhere 2022 Projects\ABCProduct\ABCProduct.iap_xml
