Operation

File Install

In this section you can specify the installation behavior of the XML file.

You have the following options:

Create file if it doesn't already exists

If the XML file with the given name doesn't exist on the target machine, it will be created with the specified settings.

Remove file on uninstall

Select this option if you want to remove the XML file from the target system at component uninstall. The file will be removed only if it was created at install.

Component

This field specifies the component whose install or removal will trigger the XML update operation.

Error Policy

Select what action should be performed in case an error occurs during the XML installation:

  • Abort installation - all system changes will rollback.
  • Skip file - the file which caused the error will be skipped. All the changes performed by the installation on this file will be reverted and the installation will continue.

Create backup before updating

If this option is enabled a backup copy of the original XML file will be created before the update operation takes place.

ImportantBecause XML file updates may occur during uninstall too, a backup of the file will be created on uninstall as well. If during uninstall an error occurs, a backup of the file will be created (regardless of this option) and the uninstall process will continue.

Warning!It highly recommended that you leave this option enabled, because an unexpected error during the XML update process may corrupt parts of your existing XML file.
