[wix-users] feature based bootstrapper installs? [P]

[Gerhard Matzen]

In your MsiPackage element, you need to set EnableFeatureSelection="yes".

You need to add an event handler:
PlanMsiFeature += PlanMsiFeatureHandler;

And set your desired feature state using the event handler's PlanMsiFeatureEventArgs arguments.

There are some quirks:
If you set all features to absent, that is the same as saying I want all features.
Be careful of features that have been renamed between major versions.

Wait, so I can:

1. select 1 to 2 features out of say 3
2. install those 1 to 2 features
3. run the install again and install the 3rd feature 4. then uninstall all features?

How do you go about doing that, is there an example somewhere?

Cheers,

Steve

Burn already supports configuring features (although we don't generally recommend it since there is a lot of complexity when attempting to manage features directly).

What's the issue?

Hi all,


Are their plans for the Bootstrapper to support a feature based install?


Thanks,


Steve
