Feature Installed for Product Rule

The Feature Installed for Product MSI rule in System Center Updates Publisher is used when creating or modifying software update definitions. It is used primarily as a prerequisite type rule. The specified MSI information about the product and feature is verified with what is found on a scanned computer. If the rule does not pass verification, the software update is considered not needed on the computer. The Feature Installed for Product rule has the following configuration settings:

  • Product Code: Specifies one or more product GUIDs that are associated with the features configured in the Feature Name field. At least one configured product code must be associated with at least one configured feature for the rule to be verified on the computer. Click Add to specify each product code. At least one product code is required. To require that all configured products have at least one configured feature, click All Products Required.

  • Feature Name: Specifies one or more features that are associated with the products configured in the Product Code field. Click Add to specify the feature name. At least one feature name is required. To require at least one product to have all of the configured features, click All Features required. When All Products Required and All Features required are enabled, all configured products must have all of the configured features.
