Method Documentation
Registers additional repositories.

Adds the widget with objectName() name registered by component as a new page into the installer's GUI wizard. The widget is added before page.
See Controller Scripting for the possible values of page.
Returns true
if the operation succeeded.
See also removeWizardPage and setDefaultPageVisible.
Adds the widget with objectName() name registered by component as a GUI element into the installer's GUI wizard. The widget is added on page.
See Controller Scripting for the possible values of page.
See also removeWizardPageItem and wizardWidgetInsertionRequested.
Automatically accept all user message boxes.
See also autoRejectMessageBoxes and setMessageBoxAutomaticAnswer.
Automatically reject all user message boxes.
See also autoAcceptMessageBoxes and setMessageBoxAutomaticAnswer.
Calculates an ordered list of components to install based on the current run mode. Also auto installed dependencies are resolved. The aboutCalculateComponentsToInstall() signal is emitted before the calculation starts, the finishedCalculateComponentsToInstall() signal once all calculations are done.
Calculates a list of components to uninstall based on the current run mode. Auto installed dependencies are not yet resolved. The aboutCalculateComponentsToUninstall() signal is emitted before the calculation starts, the finishedCalculateComponentsToUninstall() signal once all calculations are done. Always returns true
.
Returns an array of all components currently available. If the repository metadata have not been fetched yet, the array will be empty.
See also component, installer::finishAllComponentsReset(), and installer::finishUpdaterComponentsReset().
boolean containsValue(string key) |
Returns true
if the installer contains a value for key.
See also value, setValue, and valueChanged.
Drops admin rights gained by gainAdminRights.
See also gainAdminRights.
Returns the content of the environment variable name. An empty string is returned if the environment variable is not set.
Starts the program program with the arguments arguments in a new process and waits for it to finish.
stdin is sent as standard input to the application.
stdInCodec is the name of the codec to use for converting the input string into bytes to write to the standard input of the application.
stdOutCodec is the name of the codec to use for converting data written by the application to standard output into a string.
Returns an empty array if the program could not be executed, otherwise the output of command as the first item, and the return code as the second.
Note: On Unix, the output is just the output to stdout, not to stderr.
See also executeDetached.
boolean executeDetached(string program, stringlist arguments = undefined, string workingDirectory = "") |
Starts the program program with the arguments arguments in a new process, and detaches from it. Returns true
on success; otherwise returns false
. If the installer exits, the detached process will continue to live.
Note: Arguments that contain spaces are not passed to the process as separate arguments.
Unix: The started process will run in its own session and act like a daemon.
Windows: Arguments that contain spaces are wrapped in quotes. The started process will run as a regular standalone process.
The process will be started in the directory workingDirectory.
boolean fileExists(string filePath) |
Returns true
if the filePath exists; otherwise returns false
.
Note: If the file is a symlink that points to a non existing file, false
is returned.
Finds a library named name in paths. If paths is empty, it gets filled with platform dependent default paths. The resulting path is returned.
This method can be used by scripts to check external dependencies.
See also findPath.
Tries to find a file name name in one of paths. The resulting path is returned.
This method can be used by scripts to check external dependencies.
See also findLibrary.
Tries to gain admin rights. On success, it returns true
.
See also dropAdminRights.
Cancels an ongoing installation.
See also installationInterrupted.
boolean isFileExtensionRegistered(string extension) |
Returns whether a file extension is already registered in the Windows registry. Returns false
on all other platforms.
Returns true
if the application, binary, or executable is executed in installer mode.
See also isUninstaller, isUpdater, and isPackageManager.
Returns true
if the the application, binary, or executable is executed in package manager mode.
See also setPackageManager, isInstaller, isUninstaller, and isUpdater.
boolean isProcessRunning(string name) |
Returns true
if a process with name is running. On Windows, the comparison is case-insensitive.
Returns true
if the the application, binary, or executable is executed in uninstaller mode.
See also setUninstaller, isInstaller, isUpdater, and isPackageManager.
Returns true
if the the application, binary, or executable is executed in updater mode.
See also setUpdater, isInstaller, isUninstaller, and isPackageManager.
boolean killProcess(string absoluteFilePath) |
Returns true
if a process with absoluteFilePath could be killed or is not running.
Note: This is implemented in a semi blocking way (to keep the main thread to paint the UI).
Returns false
if the installer is run on Windows, and the installer has been started from a remote file system drive. Otherwise returns true
.
See also setDependsOnLocalInstallerBinary.
boolean performOperation(string name, stringlist arguments) |
Instantly performs the operation name with arguments.
Returns the contents of the file filePath using the encoding specified by codecName. The file is read in the text mode, that is, end-of-line terminators are translated to the local encoding.
Note: If the file does not exist or an error occurs while reading the file, an empty string is returned.
Removes the widget with objectName() name previously added to the installer's wizard by component.
Returns true
if the operation succeeded.
See also addWizardPage, setDefaultPageVisible, and wizardPageRemovalRequested.
Removes the widget with objectName() name previously added to the installer's wizard by component.
See also addWizardPageItem.
Returns the additional estimated amount of disk space in bytes required after installation.
See also requiredTemporaryDiskSpace.
Returns the estimated required disk space during installation in bytes.
See also requiredDiskSpace.
void setCompleteUninstallation(bool complete) |
Sets the uninstallation to be complete. If complete is false, only components deselected by the user will be uninstalled. This option applies only on uninstallation.
boolean setDefaultPageVisible(int page, boolean visible) |
Sets the visibility of the default page with the ID page to visible. That is, removes it from or adds it to the wizard. This works only for pages that were in the installer when it was started.
Returns true
.
See also addWizardPage and removeWizardPage.
Makes sure the installer runs from a local drive. Otherwise the user will get an appropriate error message.
Note: This only works on Windows.
See also localInstallerBinaryUsed.
void setInstallerBaseBinary(string path) |
Sets the installerbase
binary to use when writing the maintenance tool. Set the path if an update to the binary is available.
If not set, the executable segment of the running installer or uninstaller will be used.
Automatically close the message box with ID identifier as if the user had pressed button.
This can be used for unattended (automatic) installations.
See also QMessageBox, autoAcceptMessageBoxes, and autoRejectMessageBoxes.
Forces a package manager context.
See also isPackageManager().
void setSharedFlag(string key, boolean value) |
Sets a shared flag with name key to value. This is one option to share information between scripts.
Deprecated since 2.0.0. Use setValue instead.
See also sharedFlag().
Sets additional repositories for this instance of the installer or updater. Will be removed after invoking it again.
See also addUserRepositories.
Forces an uninstaller context.

See also setValue, containsValue, and valueChanged.
stringlist values(string key, stringlist defaultValue = []) |
Returns the installer value for key. If key is not known to the system, defaultValue is returned. Additionally, on Windows, key can be a registry key.
See also value.
Returns true
when version matches the requirement. requirement can be a fixed version number or it can be prefixed by the comparators '>', '>=', '<', '<=' and '='.
