Features and Components
I have a problem that a component is being installed even though the user or person installing the program didn't select the component to install.
Why would this happen?
Complete Install Type
Feature 1:
Component 1 - Required
Component 2 - Required
Component 3 - Required
Component 4 - Installed
Custom Install Type
Feature 2:
Component 1 - Required
Component 2 - Required
Component 3 - Required
Component 4 - Optional (User my uncheck)
No matter which install type they install, they always get component 4. It is not required and I have it marked that way. I give them the option to install it but it always exists. Why?
InstallScript MSI Project is what I am using.

How can the user select a component? It is my understanding that users cannot access components, only features.
