InstallAnywhere 2008 has new build options.
You can now build more than one installer for one operating systems with different VM.
Is this new feature already supported in Finalbuilder? I am currently using FinalBuilder 5.0.
Hi Peter,
I’m not exactly sure which new feature you are talking about. I have tested InstallAnywhere 2008 with the current FinalBuilder 5 and you are able to build two installers for each operating system, one with and one without the VM.
If you’re talking about a different feature let me know and I’ll see if we can get the action updated appropriately.
Regards,
Paul.
Hello Paul,
I am talking about the new feature of InstallAnywhere 2008 in the Build Tab of the Advanced Designer, where I can add multiple installers for one platform, not ony with or without VM. This will give you the possibilty to create e.g. one installer with a 32 and 64 bit JVM in one build process, see bitmap attached (IA2008_build_options.jpg).

Hi Peter,
Thanks for clearing that up, I have had a look through the Install Anywhere 2008 User Guide and found that to configure multiple installers for a single platform you need to use a build properties file and specify that in the FinalBuilder action. Install Anywhere 2008 has changed the configuration file format to be in XML (a sample properties file can be found in ‘resource\build\BuildProperties.xml’ folder located in your Install Anywhere programs folder). You will need to add a new target section for each installer within the configuration section of the properties file.
The Install Anywhere 2008 user guide has a section on this under ‘Build Tools’.
I have updated the Install Anywhere action to allow you to select a XML file as the properties file. A new test build should be available soon (I’ll let you know).
Regards,
Paul.
