Installing features with a Basic MSI
Morning all,
I have created a Basic MSI which will run silently (so no user interaction) and I want to be able to programatically install certain features depending on whether MSExchange 2003 is installed.
I'd originally thought that I could simply script this with a call to FeatureSelectItem but I've since discovered that this method isn't supported with Basic MSIs (which is a pain) and I understand that I may need to faff around with properties instead, possibly manipulating individual feature InstallLevel properties - but I'm not sure how.
Can anyone help, maybe suggest a solution, or link any useful articles?
Many thanks,
Neil

Perhaps see the help topic "Conditionally Installing Features"?
