Remarks
If the Feature on which the current Feature depends is hidden and inactive, it is activated automatically. Such a hidden Feature is deactivated when the last Feature depending on it is deactivated. If the Feature is visible, it is not activated automatically. A hidden Feature cannot have any activation dependencies.
Example
If included within a Feature element, the following code example prevents the current Feature from being activated unless the Feature with the specified ID is activated.
<ActivationDependencies>
<ActivationDependency
FeatureId="11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111" />
</ActivationDependencies>
