OS based pages

[moonlighting]

Was wondering if it was posible with the AMS to let the end user click on a text object, then jump to a specific page based on the operating system they have running on their machine?

Hi,
If you look in the HELP index, you will see all the built in variables displayed right at the beginning. There you will see variables like: %IsWin2000%, %IsWIn95% and so on. So basically you will have to have Boolean conditions assigned to your JUMP TO PAGE actions that utilize those variables. For example in order to jump to a WIN 98 page, your condition would be: "%IsWin98" = TRUE".

The problem I have with this is that all the variables have to result to true otherwise the software terminates the action. If they click on a text field and the %IsWin98% = False and %IsWinNT4% = True, then the action is terminated. Is this correct? Maybe I should clarify what it is I am trying to do. The end user clicks on Install Software...This should execute one installation program if they are running 98 or a different install program if the are running NT. Thanks for the help.

Hi,
What you should do is have two EXECUTE PROGRAM actions. One that executes the WIN 98 install and anther that executes the WIN NT install. Now on the WIN 98 EXECUTE PROGRAM action have the Boolean condition: "%IsWin98% = TRUE. Then on the WIN NT EXECUTE PROGRAM action have the Boolean condition: "%IsWinNT4% = TRUE". This will give you the functionality that you desire.
