ETO Series Install Builder - Projects

The installer wizard manages a particular install using a project file. Before you continue with the wizard, select or create a project. The project file saves the values you enter in the wizard, so when you return later you do not have to reenter the values.

Create Installer Project

When selected, creates an installer project. Enter the name of the project, and click Next. The name must be a valid folder name. To create a folder, the installer combines the *Location and *Name fields. For example, using the image below, the name is MyApp, and the location is the default location of C:\{UserDirectory}\Documents\ETO Installer Projects. As a result, a directory is created, c:\{UserDirectory}\Documents\ETO Installer Projects\MyApp. You do not actually see {UserDirectory}. *Location is populated with the location of the User Directories on the particular machine.

The Inventor ETO Install Builder wizard uses this folder to store all installer-related files. You can put any files into this folder. However, a subfolder called Output is created later. Never place any files in this folder, as it is used for generated files that the Install wizard creates. The files are deleted on each new build of the installer.

Load Installer Project

When selected, enables Select Project File….

Click Select Project File..., and then choose the Project file created in a previous session of the installer wizard. After you select the project file, you can modify selections, and create installers using previously saved data.
