Sorry for the confusion. I provided that dialog markup mainly to show that
I was defining and setting the properties there. Yes, you are right.
Dialogs won't have any impact on Silent Install. But what really worries me
is this. If I use ADDLOCAL and set the feature name, how do I handle
upgrade? During upgrade, if I have to upgrade only one feature, will it
remove or uninstall the other feature automatically?
Regards,
Venkatesh
