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.

Note

For more information about support or requirements for installation on a specific operating system, see Operating System Availability of WMI Components.
