On Windows, the help menu will show as a GUI popup window that will auto-close after one minute. It can be useful for example for modifying the description of parameters based on the system the installer is running on. The help is displayed when the -help command line option is passed to an installer. Pre Show Help Actions - : Executes before help information is displayed.In addition, if the arguments contain references to installer variables, such as the installation directory, they will be properly expanded before the action is executed. Alternatively, you could use the to change the permissions, but at that point the action won’t execute recursively and you will need to provide a more complex pattern: In the example above, although the action is not recursive, as it was executed inside a action list, the pattern will be recursively matched against all of the files contained in the bin directory. If one of those arguments is a file matching expression ( ) and the action was included in a action list, the matching will also occur against the contents of the folder: Actions are either attached to a particular folder tag in the project file ( ) that will be executed after the contents of the folder have been installed, or can be part of specific action lists that are executed at specific points during installation.Īctions usually take one or more arguments.
You can add new actions by manually editing the XML project file directly or in the Advanced section of the GUI building tool. VMware InstallBuilder includes a large number of useful built-in actions for these purposes. There are a number of installation tasks that are common to many installers, such as changing file permissions, substituting a value in a file, and so on.
