Of course right after I posted this I came across an old thread between Stefan Krueger and Bob Arnson saying that MSI doesn't appear to support this even though the SDK doesn't actually spell it out.
I assume I'll have to manipulate the features directly using AddLocal and REMOVE as a feature tree really doesn't make sense with what I'm doing ( the setup types are license related and shouldn't be shown if the user doesn't have the right license key ). ---------------------------------------- From: "Christopher Painter" <chr...@iswix.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2012 8:28 PM To: "General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset." <wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: [WiX-users] SetInstallLevel Control Event in Maintenance I have an installer that has a "setup type" story that drives the INSTALLLEVEL property through the use of SetInstallLevel control events. During the initial installation everything works as expected. Now I've been asked to show this dialog again during the maintenance UI. I can see in the logfile that my INSTALLLEVEL property is changing to the expected value but my feature request states aren't changing. I've read the help topics for InstallLevel and SetInstallLevel control events and I don't see anything concerning. I know about the MigrateFeatureStates standard action for use during Major Upgrades but from what I understand it doesn't apply to maintenance mode. Does anything know if I'm missing something? Can MSI be used in the way I'm trying to do it? I've never tried to do this before but it seems like it should be able to work. The setup type dialog is an abstraction for the feature tree and the customer doesn't want to show the custom setup dialog during maintenance.
