To prevent a product bean from being installed, set its Active property to False.

Features

Setting a feature's Active property to False will cause it to appear unselected within the Feature Panel. Users set the feature's Active property True when they select that feature for installation.

When the user exits a Setup Type Panel, all of the features' Active properties within the product tree are updated according to the Features property of the selected setup type.

Command Line Options

It is sometimes useful to change the Active property for specific software objects using command line options. To modify Active for a software object, use the following commandline option:

   -P beanId.active=(True|False)
