[izpack-user] How to use the variables in UserInputPanel

[parag.agarkar]

Hi All,

I am writing an IzPack installer. I am using UserInputPanel for taking
inputs from user.
I have inserted the panel in the installation XML and validations has been
done.

Now I want to create and populate a properties file with the values entered
by user. (While the installation is in process)
This is required so that, the values can be used later in the application.

Can anyone suggest, how this can be done ?

In the IzPack documentation, I have read that this can be done by using
Variable Substitution System.
But I was not able to understand how my requirement can be fulfilled using
this.

Regards,
Parag

Hi,

check the documentation on the parsable-tag [1] (see the documentation
on the resource tag for parse types).

Greetings:

When I try to install to a directory under "C:\Program Files (x86)" in
Windows 7 or Vista, I get the following message:

"This directory cannot be written! Please choose another directory!"

I am logged on as administrator, so I should have privileges to do that.

Any ideas?

Hi

I am also writing izpack xml installer.
My requirement is like this:
i) user should have 3 radio button for 3 different types of installation.
like a (*)
b ( )
c ( )

User will select any one of the installation type, depending his selection
the installer has to execute
necessary pack.

Could any one help about basic skeleton for the above requirement. Here the
User will not have any option to select where to install the selected
software ( it will be installed in pre-defined path for each installation).

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards
Isrss

Use Installation Groups. In this you get the radio buttons and then you can
select the necessary packs.
