Suppose the name of the software for which we are creating a set up is “XYZ Software”
The Goal:--to have a ‘setup file’ for installation of the XYZ software upgrade that will be located on our website server. A link to the file will open a dialog box for downloading the ‘setup file’. The ‘setup file’ can either be ‘Saved’ or ‘Run’. When the ‘setup file’ is run (either directly from the download or from a storage device where the user saved the download) it will need to check for an existing copy of the XYZ software on the local disk. we would only like the setup to install the software if there is an existing copy of the “XYZ” software on the machine where they are running the setup file from. We’d also like the setup program to check for the version that is currently installed, if possible.It will be important that the customer is currently running version 3.18.1 on their machine of XYZ Software. Is it possible for the setup file for the installation check for the current version of the software on that machine? Can the setup give the user an error message if no existing version of the software is found? How about if the wrong version of the software is found? If a program version less than the required one is detected, then the user should be prompted with “Existing program version earlier than expected” and the setup process should terminate. If the setup cannot find an existing copy of the software installed then the user should be prompted with “Cannot locate XYZ.exe” and the setup process should terminate.
This is what I am expecting from the setup which will be build using SF7.I am very new to this field of SF7.I have not worked at all on SF7 so can anybody help me how to proceed?
