SPC017414: Do not chain ActivationDependencies of Features when last Feature is visible

ActivationDependencies can work only one level deep. SharePoint Foundation does not support more than one level in activation dependencies if the last Feature is visible.

TypeName: DoNotChainActivationDependencies
CheckId: SPC017414
Severity: CriticalError
Type: FeatureActivationDependencyDefinition
Resolution

Remove the ActivationDependency or make the last Feature in the chain hidden. MSDN: 'SharePoint Foundation does not support more than one level in activation dependencies if the last Feature is visible—that is if a visible Feature depends on a second visible Feature that in turn depends on a third visible Feature. However, SharePoint Foundation does support more than one level in activation dependencies if a visible Feature depends on a second visible Feature that in turn depends on a hidden Feature.'
