Create a Transform that Specifies which Features to Install

You can specify which features are installed to your end users by using the Installation Customization Tool to create a transform file that modifies the installation. In addition, you can choose from three options for not installing an item; advertising it, not installing it, and permanently blocking it so that users can not install it later.

To select features, components, and languages to install

From your administrative installation point, open the Installation Customization Tool from a shortcut or by typing the following command line:

path_to_setup\setup.exe /admin
Select Create a new Setup customization file for the following product.
Under Features, choose Set Feature Installation States.

Use the feature tree to configure each feature's installation state as follows:

Choose	To do this
Feature will be installed on local hard drive	Add a feature to the installation.
Feature will be installed when required	Advertise a feature.
Feature will be unavailable	Leave a feature uninstalled. End users will still be able to select the item and install it from Windows Programs and Features or Add/Remove Programs.
Feature will be hidden from view	Leave a feature uninstalled and hidden. End users will not be able to install the item, and it will not be visible in the Windows Programs and Features or Add/Remove Programs.

Click File > Save As.

Your changes are saved to a transform (*.mst) file.
Apply the transform to your installation.
