Hi John,

I did not think it was possible after trying multiple things, I'm glad there
is a work around however. Do you have a quick sample you could show me?

Kind Regards,

Natalie Carr

Not really.  The properties one could refer to aren't finalized until after
CostFinalize which is going to be too late for most of your dialogs.

The way I worked around it with one my multi-feature installers as to
maintain a set of "shadow" properties that tracked each of the features.
This requires manually updating them during any action that might change the
installed features.  Thankfully, this was mostly concentrated in the
CustomizeDlg, but it is a lot of bookkeeping.

 I've tried AddLocal and all the rest, but those methods were either not
reliable enough, or not valid before CostFinalize.

Subject: [WiX-users] Find out the features selected immediately

Hi,

 

Is there any way to find out which features a user selected from the feature
dialog straight away via a custom action when they click Next on that
dialog. I have tried to use the AddLocal property but it is not set and
don't know how else to find this info out. Any help would greatly be
appreciated. Thanks N
