RPM Install Test Condition

InstallShield 11 Universal

Available in InstallShield Universal Premier Only

The RPM Install Test wizard condition is similar to the Install Check condition that is used in non-RPM projects. It uses the --test RPM option to decide whether an installation, upgrade, or uninstallation of an RPM package will be successful. If a problem with the test operation occurs, an RPM error displays in the RPM Install Test dialog, and the Next button is disabled.

This condition also checks to see whether the RPM package is already installed on the target machine. If it is, this condition can either fail the installation or allow it to continue based on the value of the Fail Install On Already Installed property. By default, this property is set to "True" when this condition is located in the Product Sequences/ Installation/Preinstall group; it is set to "False" when this condition is located in the Assembly Sequences/Assembly Post-Selection group to allow you to install another copy of an assembly to a different location.

Note

If this RPM Installer will be built as an RPM assembly and included in a Universal Dynamic Suite, the Fail Install On Already Installed property of this condition should be set to "True."
