About Get User Input Panels

InstallAnywhere 2017

Edition • The Get User Input panels are available only in InstallAnywhere Premier Edition.

The Get User Input - Simple and Get User Input - Advanced actions provide a non-programmatic way to show a simple Java dialog box that allows your installer to interact with the end user.

A simple prompt guides the end user through the selection or completion of various Java elements (text boxes, check boxes, buttons, pop up menus, or lists). The end user–supplied input is returned and stored in an InstallAnywhere variable that you are free to name.

The values stored in the InstallAnywhere variable can subsequently be used to customize the installation process, to apply rules to the installer (enabling only certain files in the installer to be installed or certain actions performed during installation), and so on.
