Which Action Lists are executed in RPM/DEB packages?

There are some differences regarding action lists when installing an RPM / DEB package:

- As there is no interaction with the user, the following action lists are *not* executed (the same happens in unattended mode):

componentSelectionValidationActionList
finalPageActionList
Any parameter's validationActionList
Any parameter's preShowPageActionList
Any parameter's postShowPageActionList

- As the files installation step is executed by the RPM / DEB package manager and not by InstallBuilder itself, there is no way to execute any action from the installer until the files have been installed on the system. To be precise, the preInstallationActionList will not be executed, and the initializationActionList, readyToInstallActionList and any folder's actionList will be executed always *after* the files have been installed on the system.

- The installationAbortedActionList will only be executed if the error was generated by any of the actions performed directly by the installer. I.e., if the error is generated during the files installation step, which is performed by the RPM / DEB package manager, the BitRock installer application will not be notified and therefore the installationAbortedActionList will not be executed.


To summarize, the following list resumes all the differences regarding action lists when installing an RPM / DEB package:


preBuildActionList : executed as normal

postBuildActionList : executed as normal

initializationActionList : executed after files installation

preInstallationActionList : not executed

componentSelectionValidationActionList : not executed

parameter validationActionList : not executed

parameter preShowPageActionList : not executed

parameter postShowPageActionList : not executed

readyToInstallActionList : executed after files installation

folder actionList : executed after files installation

postInstallationActionList : executed as normal

finalPageActionList : not executed

preUninstallationActionList : executed as normal

postUninstallationActionList : executed as normal

installationAbortedActionList : executed only if error comes from any of the tasks performed directly by the BitRock installer.
