Check plateform and Add Action

[naveedkhan]

Hi.

Actually I am very much new to InstallAnywhere

I want to have something like, Installer Detects the Operating system and then install executable accordingly


If OS == "Windows" Then Install a executable (Already Developed Seperately in .net)
If OS == "MAC" Then Install The mac application (Already Developed)
If OS == "Linux" Then Install The Linux Application (Already Developed)

I know there are rules that I can add during the installation but If there is any article/post or help available then it will be much better.

Regards,
Muhammad Naveed Khan

Is there any response to this question? If yes then please help.

I wanted to answer your question, but I wonder why do you need InstallAnywhere if you already have an installer for each platform?

[naveedkhan]

What I said that I have different executable (not installers)

For windows I have a .net Console Application
For linux I have a java application

and I want to place executables in installer(Install Anywhere) and implement some rule or condition in Install Anywhere project that

if os = windows then install the .NET EXE
and
if os = linux then install the Java Application

It's a rather simple project, such a functionality exists in IA, I strongly recommend you start by checking the manual.
