[izpack-users] Problem with the os attribute 'windows'

[Klaus Bartz]

Hi Thilo,
"linux" is not valid for the OS attribute, you can only use
"windows" "unix" or "mac". It determine the family of OS.
If no valid family was declared, it is assumed as no setted OS which
means it should be installed on all OSs.

You can use the element OS for more detail; e.g.
         <pack name="WINCore" required="yes">
             <description>The Windows XP InstallTest core  
files.</description>
             <os family="windows" name="windows xp" />
             <file src="WindowsXPCore.txt" targetdir="$INSTALL_PATH"  />
         </pack>

"name" is the value which will be returned by  
System.getProperty("os.name").

Some weeks ago someone
has posted an actual list of valid OS names, but in the moment I cannot
find the mail. One of the email threads related to OS  has had the title
"Specifiying Required Packs and OSs".
Or look into the docu and dtd.

Cheers

Klaus
