Hi John, Thank you for the information. Could you also show me how to set properties in the "Next" button control sequence based on FeatureTree feature selection status?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to display the list of features to be installed Well, the problem is, in my experience with the FeatureTree control, is that you need an event triggered by it or after it to update the states. Otherwise, the states seem to sometimes hold their pre-FeatureTree states until sometime around InstallValidate. I've tried toggling INSTALLLEVEL and ADDLOCAL, and they both sort of work, but there were always edge cases where a feature I had either added with the FeatureTree control or removed with it would not have its state properly detected. Setting properties as part of the "Next" button control sequence of the CustomizeDlg seems to accomplish satisfy both the event requirement and give me some reliable info on the true states of the features. But I'd be the first to admit that it feels like a kludge. -- John M.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to display the list of features to be installed I couldn't say. Almost all our installers have a single feature so it's not something I have an in-depth knowledge of. Can you not trigger control events from the UI ? -----Original Message----- From: Wang, Miaohsi [mailto:miaohsi.w...@invensys.com] Sent: 25 October 2011 23:38 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to display the list of features to be installed Hi Peter, Thank you for responding to my question. I have a few more specific questions for you. 1. For first time install, if I want to determine if a feature is selected for installation in a custom action, what is the best way to do the work? Should I use the ADDLOCAL value or MsiGetFeatureState? 2. In maintenance mode, what has been installed by the first time install will not be in the ADDLOCAL value, correct? If this true, how can we get the whole list of features that will be installed after the Modify install? 3. Is MsiSetFeatureState the best way to set feature install state in a custom action, or should I directly set the value of ADDLOCAL?

Subject: [WiX-users] How to display the list of features to be installed Dear All, We would like to display before entering the Execute sequence the list of features that the user selects to install, but do not know what the best approach would be. Specifically, the implementation involves getting the feature install status and organizing the features to install into a list. If you have any idea, please let us know.
