- What is the purpose of InstallAnywhere's Web Installer applet?
InstallAnywhere's Web Installer applet downloads and executes installers from the Web. Consult the InstallAnywhere 5 Standard
Edition user guide to learn more about this applet, such as the applet's signed and unsigned versions, and the ability to
customize the Webpage that launches and configures the applet.
- Use the Advanced Designer to add a license agreement and your own billboard advertisement to the
GLA.EXE installer.
InstallAnywhere regards a license agreement as a combination of a license agreement panel and a custom text file. Complete
the following steps to add a license agreement to the GLA.EXE installer:
- Select the Pre-Install tab.
- Click the Add Action button.
- Select the Panels tab on the Choose An Action dialog box.
- Highlight the Panel: License Agreement line and click the Add button. Click the Close button to close the dialog box.
- A Panel: License Agreement: License Agreement line appears in the Pre-Install Action List section on the Pre-Install tab.
This line should immediately follow the Panel: Introduction: Introduction line. (Why perform any installation tasks if the
user will not accept the license agreement?) Use the up/down arrow buttons to position Panel: License Agreement: License Agreement
appropriately.
- Ensure Panel: License Agreement: License Agreement is highlighted so the Panel: License Agreement section appears on the Pre-Install
tab.
- Modify the license agreement title, user prompt, the custom license agreement text file path, and default acceptance setting
in the Panel: License Agreement section.
InstallAnywhere regards a billboard advertisement as either a gif, jpeg, or png file; with a maximum size of either 380 x
270 pixels (Swing GUI (graphical user interface) mode) or 587 x 312 pixels (AWT (Abstract Windowing Toolkit) GUI mode with
no side panels). Complete the following steps to add a billboard advertisement to the GLA.EXE installer:

InstallAnywhere displays billboard advertisements in the top to bottom sequence that Billboard List specifies.
