Advanced Interface

The Advanced interface lets you do everything you can do with the Wizard plus a lot more. Any project that you create with the Wizard can be used in Advanced interface, but the opposite is not always the case because the Advanced interface includes many features not supported by the Wizard.

Whenever you start JExpress it welcomes you to the system and lets you decide if you want to create a new install project or open an existing one.

The first difference you'll notice between JExpress' interfaces is that the Advanced interface uses tabbed panels instead of a wizard. This interface lets you simply flip through each panel and set the options in the order that you'd like. When you're satisfied with the settings, click the Build tab and press the Build button to create your installers. When you use the Advanced interface, JExpress will also find all of your classes for your main class, build autoupdaters for your application, and uploads your installers and updates to your web site when you click the Build button if you have the settings configured. After you successfully build your installers, then you're ready to test them.

JExpress automatically saves your options whenever you exit. Click on the jump point to the right to learn about each option and setting with the Advanced interface.
