Software Deployment

Given the above log extract, the test in Launch Conditions should be 'APP_TEST<>1' or 'NOT APP_TEST=1'.

Is APP_TEST defined in property table?
If not then you need to validate as "NOT APP_TEST"

Jeeoo!

Previously it was defined: but now i deleted it, and put a launch condition
NOT APP_TEST
but it is installing in both the scenarios.

are you using wise or installshield

Wise

Check your log file and identify the value of APP_TEST based on system search scenarios.

Jeeoo!

here it gives error.

I tried putting it
APP_TEST=1
but, it aborts the installation, in both the conditions

Thanks to all, for putting efforts for me. Thanks to VBScab, it worked with NOT APP_TEST=1

It's not hard. WPS tells you in the 'Launch Condition Details' dialog to enter the condition which must be met in order for the installation to continue.

in that case go to the property table and create a property

<PROPERTYNAME>.= [ProgramFilesFolder]foldername\filename.txt

in the launch condition table enter

NOT APP_TEST = <PROPERTYNAME>

description field ("enter description")

but NOT APP_TEST=1 is similar to APP_TEST=0 am i right?

No. Think about what the 'equals' sign means.

NOT APP_TEST=1
means 'Accept any scenario where APPTEST is not equal to 1'

APP_TEST=0
means 'Accept any scenario where APPTEST=0'

In your search, APP_TEST gets populated with the filename, if it's present, 'C:\Program Files\Test\myapp.exe'

In the first test, clearly APP_TEST no longer equals 1, passing the test. In the second test, it does not equal 0, thus failing the test.

Lastly, from what I can gather from the log extract, at no point does APP_TEST=0. I imagine you have it set to 1 in the 'Property' table.
