INSTALL_PATHAny path according to the host OSbuilt-in
(OS-dependent) 

This allows to initialize the installation root path the user can change for example on a TargetPanel.

The value of this system property is directly mapped to the reserved IzPack variable $INSTALL_PATH.

MULTIINSTANCEtrue | falsefalse

There is a built-in feature of popping up a message which asks the user whether an already running instance of the same installer should be ignored or rather whether to abort. This can be inconvenient for some use cases (clustering, sub-calls when an installer calls itself with different options,...).

This option allows to disable this behavior at compile time, the default is multi-instance check at installer start (MULTIINSTANCE=false). The value yes true means to override the default behavior and allow multiple instances of an installer. The default is multi-instance check at installer start (MULTIINSTANCE=false).

Since: IzPack 5.0 RC5

STACKTRACEtrue | falsefalseWhether to show Java stacktraces are on the installer's console output. This can be useful for debugging and reporting errors to installer or IzPack developers.
DEBUGtrue | falsefalseWhether to show particular runtime information on the installer's console output. This can be useful for debugging and reporting errors to installer or IzPack developers.
TRACEtrue | falsefalseWhether to show an extra panel on GUI installers only displaying the current values and change traces of the installer's internal variables and conditions. This can be useful for debugging and reporting errors to installer or IzPack developers.
