Am I right in deducing that InstallCondition, if specified, will override DetectCondition? So if InstallCondition=False, the package will not get installed regardless of DetectCondition. Likewise, if InstallCondition=True, the package is always installed regardless of DetectCondition.
....or is is that if InstallCondition=True then package is installed only if DetectCondtion=False?
