Often software applications have minimum requirements that need to be met for the application to run successfully. The Requirements tab contains a series of common requirements that can automatically be verified at the beginning of the installation. If one or more of the requirements fail, you have the choice of either warning the user with a dialog and continuing, or notifying the user and aborting the installation process.

System Checks

RAM:

The minimum amount of RAM required for your application.

Screen width:

The minimum screen resolution width (in pixels) required for your application.

User must have administrative privileges

The user must be logged in with administrative privileges for a successful installation.

Note: This setting propagates through to the uninstall. If the installation requires administrative privileges, the uninstallation will as well.

Note: On Windows Vista or later, with UAC enabled, administrators are logged in with standard user privileges with the ability to elevate. This check will determine if the user has already been elevated to the full access token. See Installing on Windows Vista or Later for more information.
