8.3 Installer.properties File

After a successful installation, the iManager installer generates an installer.properties configuration file with values based upon the questions asked during the install. You can use this file as a template to create a custom installer.properties files for use when installing iManager together with another application.

An installer.properties file looks something like the following. A comment describes the file entries directly above it.
