- You can test operations manually on the uninstaller or installer.
+ The operations are prepared by component scripts and performed by the
+ installer.
- For example, to copy a file:
- \code
- SDKMaintenanceTool --runoperation "Copy" "<source>" "<target>"
- \endcode
+ Internally, each operation has a \e DO step that contains instructions for
+ the installer and an \e UNDO step that contains instructions for the
+ uninstaller.
