Any of those help This can be achieved by using IzPack variables in your property files and include those files into one of the pack as parsable. Example, let's say there is file application.properties with a line dll.path=${localSettingsDir}${FILE_SEPARATOR}dlls, where ${localSettingsDir} should be a variable declared in your install.xml. This can be done as following: code :
<dynamicvariables>
<variable name="localSettingsDir" value="$localSettingsDirUi" />
</dynamicvariables>
<packs>
<pack name="Your Pack" required="yes">
...
<file src="application.properties" targetdir="$INSTALL_PATH" />
<parsable targetfile="$INSTALL_PATH/application.properties" type="javaprop"/>
...
</pack>
...
</packs>
