Hello,
My colleague is working on an installer and he bumped into something. He created a condition (NOT ADDLOCAL >< "DMETL") to check if the "DMETL" feature is being installed. This condition works, except we have another feature called "DMETLService". This condition searches on name, but not the exact search string. So if "DMETLService" is found, it will return false. But my colleague is not searching for "DMETLService"
Is there a way to search ADDLOCAL for the exact string "DMETL"?
Thanks in advance!
Sincerely,
Guido

Re: Create condition that searches an exact string
Hi Guido,
Unfortunately, there is no condition that searches for an exact word in a string as needed in your scenario, however, you can use the following condition: (&DMETL = 2) (this means "feature action: absent", the feature will not be installed).
Please note that the [ADDLOCAL] property stores the identifiers of the features that will be installed, not the name that is displayed to the user.
So, another solution to overcome this problem would be to go in the Organization page and choose an unique identifier for the "DMTEL" feature or modify the identifier of the "DMETLService" feature, so that the condition you mentioned will always be fulfilled.
Let us know if this helped.
