#28 ant.install.properties to be saved after each page

[Vojtech Broz]

It would be nice if ant.install.properties file could be saved after each page - when you have many pages and fill the property values the only option to have them saved is to click the Install button.

Hi I'm not sure of the use case here is this requirement for debugging installer, or is there some need tohave the properties saved for partial runs of the installer?

Yes, let's imagine the following situation:

A user starts the installer session. He proceedes through the pages (let's say 20) and now comes to a screen which says 'Enter the port number for the-service-you've-never-heard-of'. He picks up a phone and calls the IT guys and asks them for the service port number. The smart guys tell him there is no such service installed and it is going to take two weeks to get it installed (if everything goes fine). So the poor user has to shut down the installer and after two weeks (if he's lucky) he will have to start filling all the boring 20 pages he filled two weeks ago...

This is a real situation...

Is there any concept in AntInstaller preventing it from doing so?

Thanks
