Yeah Phill. I do agree for Johns suggestions. Thanks for the link too. During fresh installation it is ok to select/deselect the feature/subfeature through BA. VS2012 onwards the setup screen has checkboxes for the featurs.
But i am really confused at, 1. How to restore the status of th feature/sub feature in maintenance mode. If user wants to modify the feature state(deselect a feature in fresh install and select in modify) during maintenance then We should have to show what features that user had selected/deselected during first installation. 2. How to provide the feature options other that select and deselect only. Like, advertised feature,installed locally, installed from source media etc. Eg: If we click on any feature in featuretree setup, it will display a dropdown with 4/5 options. May i know how can i do these in WiX?
