Advanced UI Project - Feature selection/Pre-requisite installation

I'm trying to put together a simple installation using 2012 Spring.
I have a main application to install that has 2 choices for installation
a) Is "First machine" that will install a database and client applications
b) Is an "additional machine"that installs just the client.

I've created my own InstallShield pre-requisities for SQL 2012 with Advanced services - these require .NET 3.5 SP1, my own application uses .NET 4.5

So i've created 2 features in the suite, firstmachine and application
Then selected the main application msi as the primary package.
Then imported the pre-requisites.
I've modified the wizard - removing the select features page and changed the installation type page to have 3 buttons rather than 2.
These all perform the install action and set a property to indicate the install type that is passed on the command line to the main application install.

All this is fine.

My problem is with the installation of SQL server - I only want to do it for 2 of the 3 buttons presses (it is effectively assocaited with feature "First machine")

I've tried setting the property ISFeatureInstall on the click of the button but it doesnt seem to have any affect - SQL is still installed when i click the "Client only" option.

What am i missing here?

Am i attempting the impossible?

Do I need to move it from the suite into the main application as a pre-requisite to the MSI??

Simply put - I only want to install SQL when it is required.

Any help/guidance/advise appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

/SiD

ISFeatureInstall is only relevant from the command line. What you're looking for is setting FEATURE[feature-name-here].actionState to install or empty-string.

Thanks for the response Michael.

I have changed my installation type dialog to have 2 options

First machine

and

Additional Machine

The Action for these are

{SetProperty SETUP_TYPE=1} {SetProperty FEATURE[FirstMachine].actionState,install} {SetProperty FEATURE[Application].actionState,install} {Install InstallationProgress}

and

{SetProperty SETUP_TYPE=3} {SetProperty FEATURE[FirstMachine].actionState,null} {SetProperty FEATURE[Application].actionState,install} {Install InstallationProgress}

respectively.

As you can see, after selection i then move to the installation progress (do install) screen.
Unfortunately, both do the same thing and continue to try and install the "FirstMachine" feature.

Answering my own question, for the benefit of anyone running into the same problem,

the action should read {SetProperty FEATURE[FirstMachine].actionState=install}
not {SetProperty FEATURE[FirstMachine].actionState,install}
