DEPENDENCY


<DEPENDENCY
 ACTION="Assert" | "Install"
>

Specifies an additional distribution unit that needs to be present for the software distribution (SOFTPKG) to function correctly.

ACTION="Assert" | "Install"
Action to take if the required distribution unit is not present on the user's computer. When set to "Install", the required files should be downloaded and installed so the software distribution can be processed without errors. When set to "Assert", the SOFTPKG is ignored if the distribution unit is not already on the computer. This is the default. This attribute is valid only in the context of an OSD file. For a CDF file, the value "Assert" is automatically assumed.
