You could also split your optional features into separate MSIs and use Burn to control their installation behaviour, which may be easier in the long run than trying to fight what windows installer is intended to do. You would probably need a custom BA though.

Use Minor upgrade instead of Major upgrade. (by definition Major upgrade is completely new installation that installs everything from scratch allowing to uninstall old versions and therefore when you choose particular features only they get installed) 2. In some place in UI sequence* after feature selection* dialog repopulate(write some custom action) ADDLOCAL, REMOVE and REINSTALL properties so that: a. ADDLOCAL and REMOVE will be empty b. REINSTALL will contain features that user selected in dialog 3. Repopulate REINSTALLMODE property so that include "v" (this will run installation from the source package and not from cached msi and at the end recaches msi to new one).
