Using Packager and Installer for Linux and UNIX › Installer Compatibility Considerations

Installer Compatibility Considerations

The following table shows whether a PIF product that was packaged with a specific Packager version (listed in the first column of the table) can be installed on the target computer, depending on the Installer version available on the target computer. The table shows also, which Installer version must be available on the target computer in order to install a PIF product packaged with a specific Packager version.

The term installable marked with an asterisk (installable *) in the table means, that the self-installing PIF product will automatically install the suitable Installer or upgrade an existing Installer (if necessary) on the target computer before the PIF product is installed.

Example: A PIF product packaged with the Packager Version 4.3 cannot be successfully installed on a target computer that runs Installer Version 4.2.
