A Standard Action action executes one of the built-in Windows Installer actions.
For a full list and description of the Windows Installer standard actions,
please consult the Windows
Installer documentation on the MSDN web site.
In general, we recommend that you do not change the predefined order of the standard actions, unless you are familiar with the operation of the installer. The predefined action sequences execute the various standard actions in the order that works best across different installation scenarios and Windows versions, and any ill-advised changes might cause the installation or removal of your product to fail, or to leave behind traces that should have been cleaned up.
The Tarma Installer equivalent is Standard
Action. Tarma Installer standard actions are broadly similar to Windows
Installer's, but may differ in detail.
This pane contains the following attributes and options.
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Name |
Enter the name of the standard action, or click ... (browse) to open the Select Action Name dialog box that allows you to select a standard action name. In contrast to other actions, the name of a Standard Action specifies the built-in action to execute and therefore has special significance both in Tarma ExpertInstall and the actual installer. |
| Condition |
Enter the conditional expression that determines if the action will be executed, or leave empty for unconditional execution. Note: Windows Installer does not accept the Tarma-specific extended syntax in conditional expressions. In particular, you can not use the symbolic execution context <...> to refer to variables, registry values, INI file values, or to perform runtime functions. |
