Checking selected features

[Raffee]

How can I check which features are selected to be installed? (Basic MSI project).
Strangely, IS allows me to link SQL Scripts and files to specific features, but not custom actions and IIS components (App Pools, Virutal Directories, etc...)

When creating custom actions we can set a condition, so I thought maybe I can have a condition like "IF FEATURE X SELECTED"
How can I accomplish this?

In regard to the IIS question...
[Corrected] Just make sure the selected component is associated with the desired feature.
Don't really need the second screen shot below... but I don't see how to delete it!

Thanks 🙂 this seems to work.
IT looks like I can't do the same to custom actions and dialogs, since they are not registered as components, yeah? Is there a workaround?

To determine if a feature is selected do something like this in your CA..
if (MsiEvaluateCondition(hMSI,"Not Installed And &YourFeatureName=3") = MSICONDITION_TRUE ) then

For Dialogs you can add a condition to the 'NewDialog' Event (this is typically on the 'Next' button of the previous dialog). A condition might look like this:

(FEATURE_SELECTION_IS_VALID="1") AND &YourFeatureName=3
