MsoFeatureInstall FeatureInstall { get; set; }
Property Value
Type: Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoFeatureInstall
Remarks
You can use the msoFeatureInstallOnDemandWithUI constant to prevent users from believing that the application is not responding while a feature is being installed. Use the msoFeatureInstallNone constant with error trapping routines to exclude end-user feature installation.
Note
If you refer to an uninstalled presentation design template in a string, a run-time error is generated. The template is not installed automatically regardless of your FeatureInstall property setting. To use the ApplyTemplate(String) method for a template that is not currently installed, you first must install the additional design templates. To do so, install the Additional Design Templates for PowerPoint by running the Microsoft Office installation program (available by clicking the Add/Remove Programs icon in Windows Control Panel).
The value of the FeatureInstall property can be one of these MsoFeatureInstall constants.
