Bob,
   
   Do you have similar trivia for how to get rid of the annoying `this feature, 
and all subfeatures, will be installed on local hard drive.`  when said feature 
doesn't have any subfeatures?
   
  Thanks,
  Chris

It appears that setting InstallDefault to local works only for leaf features, 
but it does not work for root feature ('Complete'), thus I still see the "This 
feature will be installed from the network" option in the drop-down menu for 
this root feature. Am I missing something obvious?

Just a bit of MSI silliness: It offers the run-from-source option for any 
feature that doesn't have any components assigned to it, such as when you have 
a parent feature that only contains child features. Easy workaround is to add a 
dummy component (with no resources) to the parent feature.
