You can condition your WiX source based on properties to pass into candle.exe. But because the product composition would be different, you should use different ProductCodes. This is important if you intend to patch the product later, as you don't want a single, all-inclusive patch to add everything back in if you don't want it, and there would otherwise be no other way to target a specific product with a specific patch - all traits that patch transform target would be exactly the same.
Using different ProductCodes also avoids Windows Installer picking the wrong MSI out of the Installer cache and using that instead of the actual source MSI (if installing two different compositions on the same machine). nils_gate wrote: > I am trying to create an installer, which has 4 components.
