When the end user selects or right-clicks the Windows Installer-enabled software package in the Add or Remove Programs applet and clicks Change, Microsoft Windows Installer is invoked, and opens its native interface for manipulating features of the installation on the agent computer. If the end user clicks Add or Remove Features, Microsoft Windows Installer displays its Update Features windows.
To prevent individual features from appearing in the Microsoft Windows Installer Update Features dialog box, you can use the MSI Feature Set Editor’s Hide function. This avoids possible end-user interference and lets HPCA completely control the end user’s installation of the application software’s features using the HPCA management product’s capabilities.
