Software Launch Conditions Tab

Predefined conditions that must be fulfilled in order to launch the installation package.

These launch conditions are per build, therefore they must be specified for each defined build. By default when a new build is created there are no launch conditions enabled for it. You can select the desired build in the toolbar builds combo. This option is enabled only if several build are defined.

The predefined launch conditions from Advanced Installer work in two ways:

minimum version check - your package will be installed if the select version or a higher one is found on the machine
fixed version check - your package will be installed only if that version which you select from the combo is installed on the target machine. No matter if a higher version exists or not.

All launch conditions that start with “Minimum” in the list below have as expected a minimum version check, all other launch conditions perform an exact version check.
