Predefined Conditions

The Predefined Conditions in Advanced Installer are ready-to-use conditions that can be employed to conditionally install files, execute custom actions, or manage software installation. These conditions allow you to easily check for the presence of specific software, system attributes, or configuration settings without the need for manual scripting.
