機能

• Support for macOS Universal Binaries
  • Previously, InstallAnywhere was compiled only for x64 Intel architectures. On macOS systems, powered by the Apple Silicon (Arm64/AArch64) architectures, InstallAnywhere relied on Rosetta-Apple's translation layer - to emulate x64 Intel environments. This emulation sometimes results in reduced performance, application hangs, and compatibility limitations on macOS platforms.
  • Starting with this release, InstallAnywhere is compiled as a Universal Binary. A Universal Binary includes executable code for both Intel x64 and Apple Silicon (Arm64/AArch64) architectures into a single package. This enhancement enables InstallAnywhere to operate natively on both Intel-based and Apple Silicon-based systems, ensuring optimal performance and full compatibility across all supported macOS platforms.
• Ability to Prevent Splitting of resource.zip in CD-ROM/DVD Installer Directory
  • Previously, users were unable to prevent the splitting of the resource.zip file into multiple .zip files (for instance, resource1.part2zip and resource1.zip) in the CD-ROM/DVD Installer directory when creating a CD-ROM/DVD installer exceeding 1073741824 bytes (1 GB) in size.
  • InstallAnywhere 2025 R1 allows you to prevent the splitting of the resource.zip file in the CD-ROM/DVD installer directory when creating a CD-ROM/DVD installer that exceeds 1073741824 bytes (1 GB) in size. This enhancement enables you to set the designer.build.zip.size.limit property to a desired value in the com.zerog.ia.Designer.properties file.
  • To prevent splitting, the value set to this property must be greater than the CD-ROM/DVD installer size, you want to create.
• New Variable to Customize Response File Directory
  • InstallAnywhere 2025 R1 introduces a new standard InstallAnywhere variable, $IA_CUSTOM_RESPONSE_FILE_PATH$. This variable allows you to generate the response file in a custom or user-defined directory during installer installation.
  • To customize the directory where the response file must be generated, define the $IA_CUSTOM_RESPONSE_FILE_PATH$ variable using either the Set InstallAnywhere Variable - Single Variable or Set InstallAnywhere Variable - Multiple Variables action within the Pre-Install, Install, or Post-Install views on the Sequence page.
• Ability to Display Product's Custom Short Name in Install, Uninstall, and Maintenance Mode Panels
  • InstallAnywhere 2025 R1 introduces a new standard InstallAnywhere variable, $PRODUCT_SHORT_NAME$, which allows you to display a desired or custom short name for your product in the Install, Uninstall, and Maintenance Mode panels during installation, uninstallation, and maintenance mode, respectively.
  • To configure this behavior, define the $PRODUCT_SHORT_NAME$ variable using either the Set InstallAnywhere Variable - Single Variable or Set InstallAnywhere Variable - Multiple Variables action only within the Pre-Install view on the Sequence page.
• Updates for Latest Value of SDKROOT and MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
  • In InstallAnywhere 2025 R1, the SDKROOT environment variable has been updated to its latest appropriate value to ensure that the native components are compiled using the latest macOS SDK path.
  • Additionally, to update the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET environment variable's value in the project.pbxproj file, a script has been included in the designer/resource/nativetools/macosx/ht-signer/update_xcode_deployment_target.sh directory. You can edit this script to specify an appropriate value for the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET environment variable and then execute it. This execution automatically sets or updates the corresponding value for the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET environment variable in the project.pbxproj file and helps maintain compatibility of the native components with the latest supported minimum macOS version.
• Restrict Installer from Running on Platform Different from Build Target Platform
  • Previously, an InstallAnywhere installer that was built only for a specific UNIX platform could also run on other compatible target platforms. For instance, an installer built for the AIX platform could also run on Linux, as long as compatibility was maintained.
  • In InstallAnywhere 2025 R1, a new setting named Restrict Installation to Build Target Platform has been introduced in the UNIX area of the Project page in the Platforms view. The Restrict Installation to Build Target Platform setting allows you to specify whether you want to restrict or prevent the installer from running on a platform different from the one it was originally built for. The following are the available options:
    • Yes - Selecting this option allows the installer to run only on the specific target platform for which it was built. If executed on different platform, even if compatible, the installer will exit the installation with an appropriate error message.
    • No - Selecting this option allows the installer to run on any compatible target platform, regardless of the specific platform it was originally built for. By default, this setting is set to No.
• Ability to Prompt User to Re-enter Password in Get Password Console
  • Previously, the Get Password console action did not provide an option to prompt users to confirm their password by re-entering it during installation.
  • In InstallAnyhere 2025 R1, a new check box labeled Re-Enter Password to Confirm has been introduced in the Get Password action customizer on the Properties tab. When this check box is selected, users are prompted to re-enter the password after their initial entry in the Get Password console during installation. The installer compares both entries to ensure they match before proceeding. This enhancement helps to prevent typing errors and improve installation reliability.
