Viewing Windows Installer Package Dependencies
AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Application Manager
On the Dependencies View, which is accessed by selecting the Dependencies node under a Windows Installer package in the Home Deployment Type View, you can view a list of all of the files of a selected package that have dependencies with files used by other packages or operating systems in the Application Catalog. This view is displayed for Windows Installer EA_Default.xml packages in which file dependency information exists.
Note:If the Only Display View Nodes With Data option on the General tab of the Application Manager Options dialog box is selected, if no dependencies are found, the Dependencies node will not be displayed.
File-level package dependency information is extracted using the Auto detect dependencies option of the Dependency Wizard, as described in Scanning for Dependencies.
