InstallerGeek replied the topic: Re: ADDSOURCE and ADDLOCAL
ADDSOURCE Property
The value of the ADDSOURCE property is a list of features that are delimited by commas, and are to be installed to run from the source. The features must be present in the Feature column of the Feature Table. To install all features as run from source, use ADDSOURCE=ALL on the command line. Do not enter ADDSOURCE=ALL into the Property Table, because this generates a run-from-source package that cannot be correctly removed.
Remarks
The feature names are case sensitive. If the LocalOnly bit flag is set in the Attributes column of the Component Table for a component of a feature in the list, that component is installed to run locally.
The installer always evaluates the following properties in the following order:
ADDLOCAL
REMOVE
ADDSOURCE
ADDDEFAULT
REINSTALL
ADVERTISE
COMPADDLOCAL
COMPADDSOURCE
FILEADDLOCAL
FILEADDSOURCE
FILEADDDEFAULT
For example:
If the command line specifies: ADDLOCAL=ALL, ADDSOURCE = MyFeature, all the features are first set to run-local and then MyFeature is set to run-from-source.
If the command line is: ADDSOURCE=ALL, ADDLOCAL=MyFeature, first MyFeature is set to run-local, and then when ADDSOURCE=ALL is evaluated, all features (including MyFeature) are reset to run-from-source.
The installer sets the Preselected Property to a value of “1” during the resumption of a suspended installation, or when any of the above properties are specified on the command line.
ADDLOCAL Property
The value of the ADDLOCAL property is a list of features that are delimited by commas, and are to be installed locally. The features must be present in the Feature column of the Feature Table. To install all features locally, use ADDLOCAL=ALL on the command line. Do not enter ADDLOCAL=ALL into the Property Table, because this generates a locally installed package that cannot be correctly removed.
Remarks
Feature names are case sensitive. If the SourceOnly bit flag is set in the Attributes column of the Component Table for a component of a feature in the list, that component is installed as run from source.

ADDLOCAL

ADDSOURCE

REINSTALL
ADVERTISE
COMPADDLOCAL
COMPADDSOURCE

FILEADDSOURCE

For example:
If the command line specifies: ADDLOCAL=ALL, ADDSOURCE = MyFeature, all the features are first set to run-local and then MyFeature is set to run-from-source.
If the command line is: ADDSOURCE=ALL, ADDLOCAL=MyFeature, first MyFeature is set to run-local, and then when ADDSOURCE=ALL is evaluated, all features (including MyFeature) are reset to run-from-source.
