Testing the Installer
InstallAnywhere 2017
Now that you have built an installer, you can test it.
To test an installer:
|
2.
|
Click Try It. The OfficeSuite installation opens. |
|
3.
|
Install OfficeSuite by following the prompts and accepting the defaults. |
|
4.
|
When the installation is complete, click Exit on the Project Wizard to close InstallAnywhere. |
|
5.
|
Launch the application by doing one of the following: |
|
•
|
On Windows, go to the OfficeSuite program group and choose OfficeSuite. |
|
•
|
On UNIX, cd to the directory where the program was installed and type ./OfficeSuite. |
|
•
|
On macOS or OS X, double-click the OfficeSuite icon. |
To close OfficeSuite: On the File menu, click Exit.
If you want to install the software onto another platform, copy the build output directory to that target platform and then run the installer.
Note • To assist in troubleshooting when running an installer on a Windows-based platform, it is possible to display debug output in a console window. To display debug output during installation, hold down the Control (Ctrl) key when launching the installer. This functionality is available only when using a LaunchAnywhere Windows-based setup launcher or the Try Installer button in the Build Installers view on the Build page of the Advanced Designer.
Building Installers for Other Platforms
If you build an installer for a platform other than that on which the installer is being developed, transfer that installer, and run it manually. By default, installers are located in the Build_Output directories found in the same folder as the .iap_xml project file. The Build_Output folder contains folders called Web_Installers, CDROM_installers, or both. From within each of these directories, choose the platform to test. For the CDROM installer, transfer the entire contents of the CDROM_Installers folder to the appropriate target system.
