Installation policy: Prevent installation of individual components

 

Use these policies to prevent installation of System i Access for Windows components or subcomponents.

Components are installed during an initial installation of iSeries Access for Windows, during an upgrade to a newer release, or by using Selective Setup after the product has been installed. However, installation is not allowed by either of these methods when the policy to prevent the installation of an individual component is enabled. In fact, the restricted component does not even appear as an installation choice.

Once a component is installed, using this policy does not cause the component to be uninstalled. If, however, the component is uninstalled later, it cannot be re-installed due to the policy restriction. One case in which this occurs is during an upgrade from one release to another. The first release is uninstalled, then when the new release is installed, policy-restricted components cannot be installed again.

Some of the components are each made up of multiple subcomponents. In these cases, one policy usually exists to restrict installation of the whole component, while other policies exist to allow preventing the installation of subcomponents within the higher level component.

The list of all individual components and subcomponents whose installation may be restricted by policy is as follows:
