Maybe I am missing something, but wouldn't it be simpler to use Components and Component Groups to do this. The Features are simply user selectable containers. Components (Groups) may be assigned to multiple Features. If two features contain a component, and either feature is selected, the component is installed.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Using a WiX Selection Tree control, when I select Feature 1, I want Feature 2 to be selected automatically I am fine with using custom actions, I just could not find a way to specify in the custom action that if Feature 1 is selected to automatically select Feature 2. Is there a way in a custom action to set a value that will do this and if so, what is the syntax of how to set it? -----Original Message----- From: David Connet [mailto:d...@agilityrecordbook.com] Sent: Friday, February 13, 2015 3:44 PM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Using a WiX Selection Tree control, when I select Feature 1, I want Feature 2 to be selected automatically The hierarchical nature of the tree enforces dependencies. Otherwise, you have to use custom actions. I remember doing that at a previous company and it was a pain.
