Launch Condition Help
I am writing an installation that requires Oracle using WPS. I have created a property called:
ORAPATH: C:\Oracle\ora92\bin\
My launch condition is set to
If NOT ORAPATH then (display not installed error message)
The NOT ORAPATH is what is in the condition builder but I believe incorrect. Launch condition won't work.
Could someone help me with the correct syntax? Thanks

Your launch condition is correct and should work.
Verify that the launch condition has been added in the LaunchCondition table, should look something like:
Condition; Description
NOT ORAPATH; Oracle not installed

Still no sucess, I have verified the LaunchCondition Table and it does show it present, however when I install it on a test machine without Oracle it begins installation.

Try this:
Add a property called ORAPATH=0
Search for the file/directory using "System Search" and put the result in the ORAPATH property
In the LaunchCondition table use the Condition: ORAPATH ~<> 0
Add a property called ORAPATH=0
Search for the file/directory using "System Search" and put the result in the ORAPATH property
In the LaunchCondition table use the Condition: ORAPATH ~<> 0

If you have set the property ORAPATH to a value, then ORAPATH will always evaluate to true, because it has got a value.
What you need is to do an APPSEARCH (Using System Search, as AngelD says), to see if c:\oracle\ora92\bin exists, and to put this result into the property ORAPATH.
If the system finds the directory, then ORAPATH will evaluate to true. If not, it will be false. If you do it this way, then don't create the property ORAPATH in the property table.

Hi sikkert,
I tried that approach myself but it didn't seem to work... not sure why.
By using the condition "ORAPATH ~<> 0" with a predefined property did the trick.
