I have been using Install Anywhere for many years but am a newbie to InstallShield.
This is probably a simple question
Creating a simple MSI install.
Main feature set installs a few files to a machine for any XP/Vista machine. Child of main feature is to optionally add a few extra files IF and ONLY IF you are on XP.
I have the child feature set to Install Level 101 which shows it as an X when the user is on XP and clicks custom. If they change it to install then everything is good.
For Vista users is there way to remove that child feature option all together, or grey it out or not let them change it ?
You can use a feature condition (see the help topic "Condition Table") to conditionally set the install level to 0 on Vista, which hides and deselects the feature.
Setting it to 0 if they are not on XP worked! But one thing I noticed today...
On XP, if you click custom, then the extra feature set is X'd out. But if you go back and choose Complete then it installs the default feature and the feature that shows up under custom with an red X
What is the magic to make COMPLETE install just certain features ?
Thanks for the kb article, from there I found a few others that explained about the addlocal being set to ALL with the "typical" install. After fixing that things seem to be working the way I had hoped.
I am having the same issue as you have mentioned. Can you explain how I can set the addlocal so that even on Complete install, I can chose not to install the feature which is marked X on Custom install Thanks,
