Specifying Install Operations

In managed installs, install operations allow you to configure the destination environment before the payload is copied to the file system and to perform additional processing afterward. To specify install operations, you use executable files (known as install operation executables) that Installer invokes at specific stages during an install, as described in “The Installation Process.”

Install operation executables must be named according to the install operation you want to define. The files can be binary files or text files containing shell scripts. All install operations are optional. You define only the operations required by a packaged product.

This chapter shows how you use install operation executables to define the install operations the Installer application performs in a managed install.
