Dynamic Features
I am currently evaluating InstallAnywhere 2008 after using Installshield 11 Universal for quite a while now. One thing we did in 11 was search for existing files and if they were found, remove certain features from the tree, while automatically installing them. This essentially let the user select custom installation while not being able to "uncheck" the features that needed to be automatically updated. Is there a comparable way to accomplish this in the new InstallAnywhere? Also, I was looking in the Javadoc for InstallerResources class and I was very confused by the wording. Does the getInstallSets() method return the sets (Full, Minimal) or the actual features that are project specific?

For the latter part, if nothing else you can query the variable $CHOSEN_INSTALL_FEATURE_LIST$ (and its kin) to see which features are selected. For the former, you can attach "rules" (like ISMP conditions) to your features and components to control whether they're installed.
