Dependencies View

AdminStudio 2020 R2 SP1 | 20.01 | Application Manager (Home Tab)

Edition:Application Manager is included with AdminStudio Professional and Enterprise Editions.

The Dependencies View, which opens in the Application Manager Home tab when a package’s Dependencies node is selected in the tree, varies by deployment type:

On the Dependencies View, you can view a list of all of the files of a selected Windows Installer package that have dependencies with files used by other packages or operating systems in the Application Catalog. This view is displayed for Windows Installer .msi packages in which file dependency information exists.

The Dependencies View is populated when you scan a Windows Installer package for dependencies using the Auto detect dependencies option of the Dependency Wizard.

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.
