Upgrading from InstallAware 6.x

Upgrading setups created in InstallAware 6.x to InstallAware 7 is automatic. Simply open your project in the new IDE as before and continue working normally.

However, the considerations below apply while working with older projects:

• If you plan on using InstallAware 7 projects back in older versions, you should not use any new/enhanced plug-ins and/or installation commands, as these will not be available in the older versions and your scripts will fail to load.
• Due to optimizations made to build directory layouts, you may not create patches for projects built in InstallAware 6.0 or earlier using InstallAware 7.
• Do not use the Save Feature Selections and Load Feature Selections commands to save/load features on setups built with InstallAware 6.42 or earlier.
• Do not use the #LOADOLDDATA# compiler variable to load setup data on setups built with InstallAware 6.42 or earlier.
