Is this function that can be accomplished using the Feature elements? Do
you want your Install User to select particular features or do you envision
something like a custom dialog that allows them to select "Client" or
"Server"? Pending their selection on the custom dialog, the correct set of
features should already be enabled / scheduled.

I actually have two questions relating to this, not sure if I should post
one
question seperately though
I have broken my installer down into having two features, CLIENT and
SERVER.
What I want to happen is when I install the client feature, upon completion
it runs another small installer to lay down some extra functionality that
is
required
If I install the Server component then I do not want the second small
installer to run.
What I am seeing is, if I install just the CLIENT, then the installer runs
to completion correctly.
If I install bothe CLIENT and SERVER on the same machine then the installer
runs to completion correctly.
If I install just the SERVER I get the following error message being
displayed
The installer has encountered an unexpected error instaling the package.
This may indicate a problem with this package. Te error code is 2753
If I check Add/Remove Programs I do see my main installer as having been
installed so just not sure if I am handling the condition correctly,
possibly related to the (NOT Installed) AND (NOT SVGEXISTS) condition
specified.
I have the following definitions
Condition to check for before running. Idea being check that this is an
install and only run if it finds the file in question
----------------------
<Fragment Id='POSTINSTALL'>
<CustomAction Id='LaunchFile' FileKey='svg' ExeCommand=''
Return='asyncNoWait' />
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action='LaunchFile' After='InstallFinalize'>(NOT Installed)
AND (NOT SVGEXISTS)</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
</Fragment>
Definition of svg
----------------------
<DirectoryRef Id='ProgramFilesFolder'>
<Directory Id='Agilent' Name='Agilent'>
<Directory Id='Dashb' Name='dashb' LongName='Business Dashboard'>
<Directory Id='inst' Name='install'></Directory>
<Directory Id='manuals' Name='manuals'></Directory>
<Directory Id='bin' Name='bin'></Directory>
<Directory Id='scripts' Name='scripts'></Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</DirectoryRef>
<Property Id="SVGEEXISTS">
<DirectorySearch Id="CheckFileDir" Path="inst" Depth="0">
<FileSearch Id="CheckSVGFile" Name="SVGView.exe" />
</DirectorySearch>
</Property>
This bring me to the second question
My thinking behind controlling this is to check for a file being laid down
as part of the client install. Is there a better mechanism for determining
which features were selected during installion in order to decide what to
do
at the end.
