I posted almost exactly the same problem a couple of days ago:
- you want to install via a custom installer an application, so you
need to do the following:
1. copy the file and installer over
2. run installer and cleanup
Step 1 above needs to be done ONLY IF the installation has NOT been
completed. (check for some final installation file/directory)
Step 2 depends on step 1 so only takes place if the files are copied.
So as I suggested in my posting a few days ago an onlyif option would
be very nice. I phrased it in my posting as unless ".... some
condition", which is just the negative condition of the onlyif
condition.
My guess the poster wants to do the same thing.
