Re: Setting the initial state of a feature

How do I set the initial state of a feature in AdminStudio 11.5?
I'm creating a transform where I want to change a feature that is set to not available to install on local drive? Or is there another way of getting the feature installed? The install is run in silent mode.

Thanks :confused:

There are a couple of ways you could do this. You could set the feature's condition in the IDE. If you are looking to do this from the command line you could set the ADDLOCAL and REMOVE installer properties to the feature name.

Thanks,
I tried ADDLOCAL but it didn't work 😞
The only way I get this to work is by setting required=yes in the feature's properties. 😞

That would work. You could also check the Instal Level of the feature and make sure that it is defaulting to something other than zero if you still wanted to give the user running the setup the option to turn the feature off.
