Many of the enterprises have an automated build system, where builds happen without any manual intervention. Hence it becomes a requirement that all the components and isntallers are build from command line with the help of ANT or any DOS or shell scripts.
Building a InstallAnywhere project is very easy through command line. See the example below to build the project from command line.
Go to $IA_HOME directory through command line using CD command.
Now execute the following command
$>build.exe $IA_PROJECT_HOME\proj_nam.iap.xml
This command will build the project and the build output will be saved at $IA_PROJECT_HOME\BuildOutput folder. If you have checked the option to create web-installer, you will find install.htm file inside the buildoutput folder. Double click the html to start the installation process.
Feel free to put in your comments and feedback !

I 'm able to build the project using build.exe once I create a project using the IDE. How to edit the project file without using IA IDE in the next instance?
Do you know How to license build.exe using the concurrent server. I tried build.exe -ls 127.0.0.1:8888 projectFile and build.exe projectFile -ls 127.0.0.1:8888 both didn't work.
Thanks,
Feras
