Actions in InstallAnywhere

installanywhereExpert created the topic: Actions in InstallAnywhere
InstallAnywhere supports an extensible action architecture that gives developers the
ability to perform operations during installation. Some of these actions are as simple
as installing files and folders and as complex as creating modifying text files, executing
custom code during the installation process, or extracting contents from a compressed
file.
Actions may occur in the background, not requiring any user input, or may require
user input. General/Install Actions do not require any user input. Panel Actions and
Console Actions request user input. Panel Actions display a graphic element that
requests user input. Console Actions display a command line request.
General Actions
Most General Actions occur transparently to the end-user. They do not require any
user input.
Panel Actions
Panel Actions are requests for user input that appear inside the graphical installer
wizard.

Console Actions
Console Actions are command line requests for user input and are used during
command line installation.
Plug-in Actions
Custom code can be integrated with the InstallAnywhere Designer and will appear as a
plug-in.
