ADVERTISE property
The value of the ADVERTISE property is a list of features delimited by commas that are to be advertised. The features must be present in the Feature column of the Feature table. To install all features as advertised, use ADVERTISE=ALL on the command line. Do not enter ADVERTISE=ALL into the Property table because this generates an advertised package that cannot be installed or removed.
Note that feature names are case-sensitive.
The installer always evaluates the following properties in the following order.
- ADDLOCAL
- REMOVE
- ADDSOURCE
- ADDDEFAULT
- REINSTALL
- ADVERTISE
- COMPADDLOCAL
- COMPADDSOURCE
- COMPADDDEFAULT
- FILEADDLOCAL
- FILEADDSOURCE
- FILEADDDEFAULT
For example, if the command line specifies: ADDLOCAL=ALL, ADDSOURCE = MyFeature, all the features are first set to run-local and then MyFeature is set to run-from-source. If the command line is: ADDSOURCE=ALL, ADDLOCAL=MyFeature, first MyFeature is set to run-local, and then when ADDSOURCE=ALL is evaluated, all features (including MyFeature) are reset to run-from-source.
The installer sets the Preselected property to a value of "1" during the resumption of a suspended installation or when any of the above properties are specified on the command line.
