ADDLOCALFeature

ADDLOCALFeature is a feature in the Windows Installer that allows for the installation of optional components during the setup process. It is particularly useful for applications that offer a variety of features or components, enabling users to customize their installation according to their needs. The ADDLOCAL property is used to specify which features or components should be installed. This property can be set through the command line, a script, or an installation package, providing flexibility in how the installation is configured. By leveraging the ADDLOCALFeature, developers can create more user-friendly and efficient installation processes, ensuring that users only install the components they require, thereby optimizing system resources and reducing installation time. This feature is widely used in software development to enhance the user experience and streamline the deployment of applications.
