Using Wix 2, I have defined a sub-feature of the main application that will
not install when selected during a Maintenance installation (choosing
'Change').
My sub-feature is only applicable if Lotus Notes is installed, so its Level
is set to 0 if Notes is not present during the initial installation,
effectively hiding that feature. In the application, if Notes is detected
(perhaps it has recently been installed after our product), a dialog is
displayed advising the user to run a maintenance install and choose the
Notes feature for installation. Now, when the installer is run, it detects
Notes is present and sets the Level to 1 such that it is displayed. Of
course, it is displayed as unavailable because it currently is not
installed.
Unfortunately, setting the feature to 'Will be installed on local hard
drive' and finishing the install does not install the feature. I have
looked at the file system and none of the associated files are there.
Subsequent maintenance installs show the feature not installed. Looking at
the log using WiLogUtil shows no errors.
Is there anything I should be looking for to resolve this issue? I should
mention that I have another feature that is not defined as a sub-feature and
it will install during a maintenance install when not installed during the
initial installation.
