Remarks

The Platform property can be used to determine if a specific file is targeted for a given operating system platform. In a package that supports multiple versions of a file, the file's target platform (along with the file name and checksum) are used to uniquely identify the file.

Example

'
' Iterate through each file in the package, deleting those
' files from the package which cannot be installed on Windows 98
'
Dim File As PackageFile

For Each File In Package1.Files
    If (File.Platform And apPlatformWin98) = 0 Then
        File.Delete
    End If
Next
