Single InstallJammer Project for Linux and Windows?

Question

How can I create a Single InstallJammer setup for both Windows and Linux? I have a sampleProject with the default components.I need to add a component that checks the OS version and proceed according to the result.

Please avoid giving the installJammer and TCL scripts tutorials as I have already read both of them.

1. Go to the General Information > Platform Information section, expand the platforms you want (eg, Linux x86 and Windows) and make sure to set the Active property to Yes on each one. Have a look on other properties as well to be aware of the values and maybe customize something to fit your needs.

2. On the Install User Interface > Install Panes and Actions is where you can do the "conditional" behaviour. Once you create an Action Group you can set it's Condition property by clicking on the three dots in the end of the input line. A Conditions for... window will be shown, and there you can add a new Platform Condition . Set the advanced property Platform of this contition to the specific platform you want that action to be executed.

As an example, you may want to create different actions to copy different file groups , a group of Windows specific files, and another group for Linux specific files (and you can also define a shared files group).

3. Go to the Run Build > Build Installers section and enable those platforms you want it to generate build installers.
