When you install a new software component which requires disabled or excluded features you need to enable or add them for the first time. You do this using the feature installer, a C++ program which calls the Feature Manager API. To install the required features you customise and install the source code. </p> </context> <steps id="GUID-2CA20C7B-26A2-5E4B-BBE2-95E7674421DC"><step id="GUID-A6C4B135-B93B-5C68-85F3-026E9BB02BC2"><cmd/><info>customise the source code in <filepath>featureinstaller.cpp</filepath>, </info> <substeps id="GUID-D8A88FAD-0987-50AA-A986-1BB629106DC1"><substep id="GUID-F3505836-5E4D-52CB-9540-423E036A92D2"><cmd/><info>Set the TUid <codeph>featureUid</codeph> to the UId of the required feature as defined in <filepath>featureUIDs.h</filepath>, </info> <stepxmp><codeblock id="GUID-22B3B46E-99A7-5D21-8E9D-B5A762510A3C" xml:space="preserve">    // TODO: Replace UID 0x00000000 with real value
