Feature INF Files

When a package contains features, a section called [Features] in the Package INF file includes both the feature name and a pointer to the Feature INF file that is created for each feature in the package. These Feature INF files provide specifications that tell the installation program the actions to perform during the installation.

The Feature INF file can include these sections:

• [Header]

• [Registry]

• [INI]

• [FileSets]

• [Shortcut]

• [ThirdPartyApps]

• [ODBCDataSources]

This is a typical Feature INF file for which the sections contain specifications for each feature component.
