Allow overall install destination change, but NOT feature destination changes?
Greetings!
Using a Basic MSI project.
All of my features have Destination properties set to subdirectories of INSTALLDIR. I've added the DestinationFolder dialog to the front of our install, intending for users to change install dir to the "master installation directory" of their choosing.
However, I want to ensure that all features get installed to the predefined relative subdirectories that I've set on their feature locations; effectively, if the user chooses a Custom install, each of the feature destinations can be overridden.
Is there a setting that I'm missing that could enforce this rule, or do I need to modify CustomSetup to permanently hide the Change... button (similar to the default behavior of when this dialog shows in Maintenance mode)?
Thanks for any info!

Found what I was looking for, after reviewing some of my training notes (thanks Dan Galender!) -- if you set a Feature's destination property to the "blank" value (the first item in the dropdown), the Change... button will automatically be disabled on the Custom Setup dialog.
