Question

You can make the installer perform certain actions based on a set of rules using an <actionGroup> section. This will execute more than one action based on the same set of rules. See the conditional evaluation section in the documentation for details on rule-based execution of actions. You will have to include a section like the one below inside an action list section of your XML installer project file.

      <actionGroup>
                  <actionList>
                  <setInstallerVariable>
                      <name>installapache</name>
                      <value>1</value>
                  </setInstallerVariable>
                  <setInstallerVariable>
                      <name>installtomcat</name>
                      <value>1</value>
                  </setInstallerVariable>
                  </actionList>
                  <ruleList>
                     <compareText>
                         <text>${installtype}</text>
                         <logic>equals</logic>
                         <value>server</value>
                     </compareText>
                  </ruleList>
              </actionGroup>
