Page DisplayThe center stage for creating your installer is this large area on the right. It is the main work area - all project data is displayed here.

It is hidden by default and is shown only if a project is run via the “Project > Run and Log” menu. You can hide it again by clicking on the top-right corner button. To show it back, use the “View > Log Pane” menu item. The log pane's auto-scrolling feature can be disabled by changing the caret position from the log pane's last line to one of the lines above. To search a text inside the generated log press the F3 key to display the Find Text dialog. Topics
