During installation, there is often the need to search for a specific file. The installer has four standard search actions to serve this purpose. The AppSearch action uses the AppSearch table to determine if a file exists on a user's system. During an upgrade installation, the CCPSearch action and the RMCCPSearch action can use their corresponding tables to check the user's system for a previous version of a product.
