Creating Documentation

[visualsi]

Hi,

Is there any tool available that can use a ".aip" file (or feature in the application) to help in the creation and/or maintenance of user-level documentation for an installer? If not, how about something in a human-readable format for developers?

Thanks,
Rob

We are not aware of any tool that creates or maintains documentation for an AIP file.
However, we do have internal support for Notes Pane to facilitate communication between multiple developers that work on the same installer project.

Hi,

I know about that, but all that does is attach notes to the same screen that the particular item is located on.

I need something that helps me to avoid the need to go back and forth between screens about every 10 seconds because a particular item (such as a property) is defined on one screen, set on another (such as a dialog), modified on three other screens, and referenced on six other screens (in IIS settings, SQL Script settings, etc.).

The only alternative I've found is to either type things into the AI interface, then hand-copy them into a notebook as well or try to maintain a separate word document in parallel (which is a bigger job than keeping the installer up to date).
