Hi
Could anybody help me with fragments and features. I'm working on big wix
project with lot of fragments.
Idea was that I make libraries for everything what can be shared between our
installers and then just by references compose what I need.
Everything goes fine until now. I created fragment (wixlib) Where I have 2
features. But in one of final installers I need only one. But when I make
reference to one of these features then both are linked into final
installer. Second feature which I didn't referenced is without parent but it
is there.
Look at this example
*.wixlib*
<Fragment>
...
<Feature Id="Feature_A" Level="1" Title="!(loc.Feature_A_Title)"
Description="!(loc.Feature_A_Description)" Display="collapse">
<ComponentGroupRef Id="FilesCG"/>
<ComponentGroupRef Id="RegsCG"/>
<ComponentGroupRef Id="LangCG"/>
<ComponentGroupRef Id="DriversCG"/>
<ComponentGroupRef Id="ModuleCG"/>
</Feature>
<Feature Id="Feature_B" Level="1" Title="!(loc.Feature_B_Title)"
Description="!(loc.Feature_B_Description)" Display="collapse">
<ComponentGroupRef Id="FilesCG"/>
<ComponentGroupRef Id="RegsCG"/>
<ComponentGroupRef Id="LangCG"/>
</Feature>
</Fragment>
*installer*
<Product>
...
<Feature Id="MainFeature" Level="1" Title="!(loc.MainFeature_Title)"
Description="!(loc.MainFeature_Description)" Display="expand">
<FeatureRef Id="Feature_B" />
</Feature>
</Product>
So when I make now build of installer I get installer with both features
Feature_B and also Feature_A. But Feature_A is without parent because I
didn't referenced it. So I hoped that if some feature form wixlib is not
referenced that it wont by included into final installer.
Is there any way how can be this Feature_A excluded from linking into final
installer. Or is whole my approach wrong? I also though that I put one of
them into another fragment (wixlib) but these features has shared components
so I didn't know if it helped something.
Thanks for any reply.
