[wix-devs] Feature based installs [P]

[Rob Mensching]

Burn doesn't show UI so I assume you mean wixstdba. There isn't such documentation but a WIP is where to start: http://wixtoolset.org/development/wips/0000-wix-improvement-proposal/

Is there any documentation about modifying burn to support that UI?

1. Burn out of the box supports feature selection. You need to set the MsiPackage/@EnableFeatureSelection='yes'.

2. wixstdba does not have UI for feature selection.

Burn out of the box supports this?
Or do I have to create a custom bootstrapper?

1. Burn already supports manipulating feature states (has since the beginning IIRC).

2. Already supported and I don't believe there are plans to remove the functionality.

Hi folks,

I think I saw something about this but can’t remember…


  1.  Currently with 3.11 can you do feature based installs (includes the bootstrapper) such you can install features A and B today, tomorrow install feature C (I believe the answer is no)
  2.  Are there plans to ensure feature based installs will happen with WiX 4.0

I really don’t want to go back to InstallShield ☹

Thanks,

Steve
