InstallLevel Question(s)...

Hi all,

My installation template currently has an INSTALLLEVEL of 100. I have some 32 bit pieces that I install in a feature with an Install Level set at 101 and 64 bit pieces in another feature with Install Level set above 100 as well.

Each feature is conditioned with NOT VersionNT64 and VersionNT64 accordingly.

Something tells me that I have to do something else to ensure each particular feature is installed on its architecture properly. Or, don't I have to use INSTALLLEVEL here as the conditions will suffice.

I can't remember why I had to or did use the Install Level setting on the features! 😛

Any help appreciated! THANKS!

Forget it! I see that the INSTALLLEVEL for the Feature is set with the condition evaluation.

For Best practice, is it best to set an Install Level for a Feature higher than the default and use a Condition to reset appropriately, or, is the install level piece not really needed.

Is the install level just to determine defaults to be displayed in the UI?

So, in short, best to

INSTALLLEVEL = 100
Feature1 - Install Level 101 - NOT VersionNT64 (Install Level set to 1 if true)
Feature2 - Install Level 102 - VersionNT64 (Install Level set to 1 if true)

Or

INSTALLLEVEL = 100
Feature1 = Install Level 1 - NOT VersionNT64
Feature2 = Install Level 1 - VersionNT64

Any guidance appreciated!

This should be the best option


INSTALLLEVEL = 100
Feature1 - Install Level 101 - NOT VersionNT64 (Install Level set to 1 if true)
Feature2 - Install Level 102 - VersionNT64 (Install Level set to 1 if true)
