Hello All,
I tried a different approach that works well. I am using InstallAnywhere
3.5.3 Enterprise edition and I invoke the IA executable directly. I first
create the IA project file and stick it into my "build" folder.
Configuration changes require that I update the IA project file (*.iap)
using IA's GUI (rarely required).
I also have a couple of "consolidated" targets that take care of the
dependencies like "compile", "jar", "manage other required files", "archive
build assets" etc.
Here is the target :
<!-- ======================== build installer :
========================= -->
<target name="build-installer" >
<echo message="iae.exe.dir = ${iae.exe.dir}"/>
<echo message="iae.prj.file = ${iae.prj.file}"/>
<exec dir="${install}" executable="${iae.exe.dir}\installanywhere.exe"
>
<arg value="-b"/>
<arg value="${iae.prj.file}"/>
</exec>
</target>
Regards,
Gautam Satpathy

I have been doing this with InstallAnywhere Enterprise. Here is my target:

</classpath>
</java>
<echo file="buildsummary.log" append="true">InstallAnywhere completed
successfully.
</echo>
<echo file="SetupOK.log">InstallAnywhere completed successfully.</echo>
</target>
There are a few things I need to fix with it, but not critical right now,
like paramaterize the location of the installanywhere jars. I also wrote to
the list a while back, and have attached the thread generated.

Has anyone had any success on using Ant to do a final packaging build with
any
installer products like ZeroG's InstallAnywhere NOW! 4.0 stuff? (or any
installer for that matter).
