Feature Tree
This topic gives you a reference of the features contained in the IBM® i Access for Windows installation package, as well as the default values for the Level and Attributes columns, which are the more commonly used to restrict features.
The features in the following table are sorted in the same
order as they are displayed in the feature selection tree. Nested
features are indicated by having the name of its parent feature in
the Feature parent column.
The Level column and the Attributes column of the Feature table are shown with their default values. These values are modified by restricting features through transforms. The Title column contains the title of each feature as shown in the feature selection tree.

Notes:
- Only features with a Display value greater than 0 are listed in the table. All features with a default value of 0 in the Display column are intended to be used internally by the installer, thus they are not visible in the feature selection tree and should not be transformed in any way.
- Features with a Level equal to or less than 100 are installed unless a user deselects the feature from the feature selection tree. On installations where the feature selection tree is not shown (reduced, basic or no user interface modes), the features will always be installed. In order to restrict users from deselecting a feature in the feature selection tree, set the feature Level to 100 or less, and set the Attributes value to 24.
- Features with a Level greater than 100 are not installed unless explicitly chosen via the ADDLOCAL property or from the feature selection tree. In order to completely disallow a feature, set its Level value to 0.
- In order to ensure that when a features parent, the child is also selected, set the Attributes value of the child feature to 26. This makes the child feature follow the action of its parent.
- All features should have the msidbFeatureAttributesDisallowAdvertise attribute (decimal 8) set, since IBM i Access for Windows does not support the Advertise capabilities of Windows Installer.
- The req feature should always be installed; you should not change the Attributes value for the req feature (the Attributes value for req is a combination of the msidbFeatureAttributesDisallowAdvertise attribute (decimal 8) and the msidbFeatureAttributesUIDisallowAbsent attribute (decimal 16). The msidbFeatureAttributesUIDisallowAbsent attribute disallows the Absent option for the req feature, which forces the feature to always be installed).
