It doesn't!
An advertised feature (and all its components) will be installed on-demand.

My understanding of something being "advertised" means that it "has knowledge" of the original MSI. Example: A non-advertised shortcut for AbiWord points to the AbiWord executable. The executable is renamed. The shortcut will not find the exe and will fail. However, if the shortcut was advertised, then it would go back to the MSI and have the AbiWord exe re-created.

When you're talking about advertising in components however, these are parts of an application which are/can be used for triggering self healing checking routines. Shortcuts are commonly used, but you can also use file extensions. Areas within the msi table where you would check for advertising are Class, Extension, MIME, ProgID, Shortcut, TypeLib and Verb.

Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
