When you are creating an installation, you may need to make sure that certain conditions exist on the target system. For example, if your product requires a particular operating system, your installation may need to check the target system to ensure that this requirement is met. If the requirement is not met, your installation might display an error to inform the end user about the requirement.

InstallShield includes support for detecting various conditions on a target system. For more information, see this section of the documentation.
