Setting a Requirement on the System Requirements Page
The Server Roles and Services dialog box appears when you double-click Server Roles
and Services (Server 2008) on the System Requirements page. This dialog box lists only
a subset of the server roles and services that an installation can check for on a Windows
Server 2008 computer.
To check for additional server roles or services, you must first add them to the roles.txt
file. After you add them to the roles.txt file, they appear on the Server Roles and
Services dialog box.
When you add a role or service to the roles.txt file, you must enter the value of the ID
property for the server role or service. These values are listed in the ID properties table
in the Win32_ServerFeature Class article in Microsoft's MSDN Library. This table has a
column for the value and another column for the description of the value.
To add server roles and services to the Server Roles and Services
dialog box
1. Access the roles.txt file and remove its Read-only attribute.
By default, the file is in the Program files\Symantec\Wise\Windows Installer Editor
directory.
2. Open the roles.txt file.
3. Below the last entry, type SVFT_ followed by the value for the server role or service.
You get the value from the Win32_ServerFeature Class article in Microsoft's MSDN
Library.
4. After the value for the server role or service, press the Tab key and type the value's
description.
You can enter any description, but we recommend using Microsoft's description.
This description appears on the Server Roles and Services dialog box in alphabetical
order.
5. Repeat the preceding two steps to add additional server roles or services.
6. Save the Roles.txt file.
