Chapter 18: Additional Installation Options
Specifying Target System Requirements
Tip: When you specify operating system requirements for your product, you are essentially excluding operating systems
that do not support your product.
For example, if you select only the check box for the latest Windows operating system, InstallShield creates a launch
condition to exclude the operating systems that you did not select in the Requirements view. With this type of launch
condition, future versions of Windows operating systems are supported automatically because they are not excluded in
the launch condition.
Specifying Processor Requirements for Your Product
If your product requires a certain processor class, you can ensure that your product is not installed on
systems with incompatible processors. If the target system has a processor that is less than the minimum
that you specified, the installation exits.
Task To specify processor requirements for target systems:
1. In the View List under Define Setup Requirements and Actions, click Requirements.
2. In the center pane, click System Hardware Requirements.
3. In the Processor setting, select the appropriate processor.
Specifying RAM Requirements for Your Product
If your product requires a certain amount of RAM in order to run properly, you can ensure that your
product is not installed on systems with insufficient memory. If the target system does not have the
minimum amount required, the installation exits.
Task To specify RAM requirements for target systems:
1. In the View List under Define Setup Requirements and Actions, click Requirements.
2. In the center pane, click System Hardware Requirements.
3. In the RAM setting, select the appropriate value.
Specifying Screen Resolution Requirements for Your Product
If your product requires a certain screen resolution in order to run properly, you can ensure that your
product will not be installed on systems with lower screen resolutions. If your installation is run on a
machine with a lower resolution than what you specify, the installation exits.
