Uhh, no.  Not possible to modify the install state of features of one MSI from 
another.  That's weird.  Sounds like you really want a bootstrapper/chainer 
that can see across multiple MSI files.

Subject: [WiX-users] Using the same MSI to add to an existing list of features

Hi,

I recently posted a similar question here, but it was poorly worded :).

Suppose our MSI contains 3 different features:

MyInstaller.MSI
FeatA
FeatB
FeatC

Step 1:
-       Install FeatA, FeatB

Step 2 (some discreet time later):
-       Install FeatC using *same version* of MyInstaller.msi
o       FeatA & FeatB remain untouched. That is, perform the step of adding 
FeatC without uninstalling  or in any way affecting FeatA, FeatB.
o       Can we do that with a newer version of the msi?

Essentially, what we want is the ability to have one MSI but allow partial 
upgrades and/or installations, and adding features to existing partial 
installations.

Thanks again for any help!
