Anybody know of a simple way to implement conditional package
prerequisites? It would be really useful to be able to define
prerequistes depending on the current OS.
As for final product deployment, there is usually no need to load
packages written for operating systems other than the current target
platform. In some cases, OS-specific packages even cause problems on
other platforms (e.g. class initialization).
I found it impossible to make use of identical product images on
different platforms. The build-once-run-everywhere promise doesn't work
for me. There are too many little differences which are not covered by
the L&F policies alone (standard folder locations, menu item name
conventions, keyboard shortcuts, drag & drop behavior, file dialogs,
printer handling, OS interfaces using DLLCC, etc).
How would one best deploy for different platforms automatically? Are
conditional prerequisites a good way to do that? Any idea?
