Syntax

Installer.ConfigureProduct(
  Product,

Parameters

Product

Specifies the product code of the product.

InstallLevel

Specifies the default installation configuration of the product. The InstallLevel parameter is ignored and all features are installed if the InstallState parameter is set to any other value than msiInstallStateDefault.

This parameter must be either 0 (install using authored feature levels), 65535 (install all features), or a value between 0 and 65535 to install a subset of available features.

Specifies the installation state for the feature. This parameter must be one of the following values.

msiInstallStateLocal	The feature is installed locally.
msiInstallStateAbsent	The feature is uninstalled.
msiInstallStateSource	The feature is installed to run from source.
msiInstallStateDefault	The feature is installed to its default location.

Remarks

The ConfigureProduct method displays the user interface using current settings. User interface settings can be changed by modifying the UILevel property (Installer object) before calling the ConfigureProduct method.

If the InstallState parameter is set to any other value than msiInstallStateDefault, the InstallLevel parameter is ignored and all features of the product are installed. Use the ConfigureFeature method to control the installation of individual features when the InstallState parameter is not set to msiInstallStateDefault.
