Win32_PublishComponentAction class

The Win32_PublishComponentAction WMI class manages the advertisement of the components that may be faulted by other products with the system. In the Advertise mode, the action publishes the all components for which the corresponding feature is enabled. Otherwise, the action publishes components for which the corresponding feature is currently selected to be installed.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all inherited properties. Properties and methods are in alphabetic order, not MOF order.
