(2) Description

• directory=installation-target-directory

  Specify the path name of the installation-target directory. You cannot specify a path name that includes a double quotation mark ("). The following shows an example of specification:

  Example 1: When the distribution destination is a Windows computer

  directory=C:\temp\data

  Example 2: When the distribution destination is a UNIX computer

  directory=/temp/data

  When this parameter is omitted, specification of the path name of the packaging base directory (the directory set in the base_fullpath parameter of the PACKAGING_SOURCE tag or in the command argument /B) is assumed.

• condition=system-condition

  Specify the system condition of the distribution-destination computer. You can specify this parameter when the distribution destination is a Windows computer. Items (3) and (4) below describe how to specify different system conditions.

(3) When setting the free space of the hard disk as the condition

The following describes how to specify the system condition when setting a size of free space of the hard disk as the condition.

condition= H:drive-name equal-sign size

drive-name

Specify a single-byte alphanumeric character that indicates a drive.

equal-sign

Specify >=.

size

Specify a value in the range from 0 to 32,767 in megabytes.

Example of specification

The following shows specification of the condition when the drive C has a free space of 1 gigabytes or more.

condition=H:C>= 1024

(4) When setting a real memory size as the condition

The following describes how to specify the system condition when setting a real memory size as the condition.

condition=size-type equal-sign size

size-type

R: Real memory size

equal-sign

Specify a sign that matches the condition among =, >, >=, <, and <=.

size

Specify a size in megabytes.

Example of specification

The following shows specification of the condition when the real memory size is 16 gigabytes or more:

condition=R>=16

(5) When setting a version of the OS as the condition

The following describes how to specify the system condition when setting a version of the OS as the condition.

condition= O equal-sign OS

equal-sign

Specify a sign that matches the condition among =, >, >=, <, and <=.

OS

Specify a value that matches the condition among WindowsServer2019, WindowsServer2016, Windows10, Windows8.1, Windows8, WindowsServer2012, WindowsServer2012R2, Windows7, WindowsServer2008, WindowsServer2008R2, WindowsVista, WindowsServer2003, WindowsXP, and Any. Any means any Windows OS.

Example of specification

The following shows specification of the condition when the OS is Windows 7:

condition=O=Windows7

(6) Notes

• Note the following when creating a package for UNIX:

  • You cannot specify system conditions. Directory specification is enabled, but any drive specification is ignored.

  • Specify an installation target directory by using no more than 64 single-byte characters (including a drive name and colons). If you specify more than 64 single-byte characters for a directory, the distributed package will be installed directly under the root directory.

• You can specify multiple system conditions. When multiple conditions are specified, the conditions are connected by logical AND. The package is installed when all the conditions are met.

• When using a command argument (/O) to specify a system condition, you can add system conditions until the total number of system conditions and package conditions (specified by /l) reaches 10.
