Don't check in a launch condition. Check for the pre req's using properties then use the properties in a condition under each feature. Set the level to 0 if pre-req is not present. That way the feature won't be an option if pre-reqs aren't there.

Cc: Senthilraj Krishnan Subject: [WiX-users] Launch condition based on feture selection Hi, My Requirement is based on feature selection I have to install Database or BizTalk applications or Client Application with single installer on a machine. User can install all this in one machine or in multiple machines. Problem is when I install in multiple machines using single installer. For example I want to install Database related things in Server1, BizTalk related things in Server2 and Client in some other machine, here my installer is checking prerequisites like MSSQL, BizTalk Server and IIS7.0 in each and every machine, My Approach: I am diving my requirements into features like listed below 1. FeDatabase 2. FeBiztalkAppplications 3. FeWassHosting 4. FeClient For Checking Pre-requisites I am using Launch conditions, so if try to install this on database sever it is failing at launch conditions because there is no BizTalk server installed on the dbserver. Now my question is: Approach I am following for making single installer for installing my features is correct or not, if correct how to and where to check pre-requisite. If my approach is wrong what would be the best approach? Thanks & Regards, Chandrashekar vuppala M-9949469324 Oakton Global Technology Services Centre (India) Results Driven.
