Files to be Absent

Files to be Absent

The Files to be Absent tab is concerned with files which must absolutely not be found anywhere on the target computer for the installation to proceed. Examples for such files might be the largest executable files to ensure that the same software will not be installed twice. This tab is not available for MSI packages.

As with the required present files, these files will be automatically added to the list of files, which must be absent from the client system. Same as with the present files, you can specify additional files, which will be required to be absent by the client agent before the installation starts, or you can remove files from the list.

Adding a file to the list of files to be absent

To add a file to the list of files to be absent on the target, proceed as follows:

  1. Select the Configuration node in the left window pane and the Files to be Absent tab in the right pane.
  2. Select Edit > Add File file_add.png.
     A configuration window appears.
  3. Select the required file from the file hierarchy displayed in the list window.
  4. Click OK to confirm the addition and to close the window.
