Thanks for your answer. I actually think it's not necessary but we want to
try it out for the scenario the guy who creates our big main wxs file has
no idea about the dependencies between all the projects and we can define
them somerwhere else.
I just found the DependencyExtension and tried to use it. Looks like this:
in Feature A:
<Component Id="A" Guid="*">
<dep:Provides Id="test" />
<File Id.. />
</Component>
in Feature B:
<Component Id="B" Guid="**">
<dep:Provides>
<dep:Requires Id="t" ProviderKey="test"/>
</dep:Provides>
<File Id.... />
</Component>
So B should be dependent of A right?
now if i build the installer and select only Feature B it says as expected
some dependencies are missing.
but if i now select feature A and B the same message pops up although all
dependencies are actually fulfilled.
Any idea whats going wrong?
