Thanks, I think this will fit when i get this working.
I tried:
<Feature Id="Binaries" Title="Binaries" Level="1">
<ComponentGroupRef Id="Host.Binaries" />
</Feature>
<Feature Id="Symbols" Title="Symbols" Level="2">
<FeatureRef Id="Binaries" IgnoreParent="yes" />
<ComponentGroupRef Id="Host.Symbols" />
</Feature>
But when I then only select the Symbols it still installs only the Symbols
ComponentGroup. Any idea whats wrong?
