Intelligent Feature Auto Selection

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible (in Basic MSI), to work out the following example:

Imageine a produs with let's say Features fA and fB.

In the CustomSetupDialog, when the user selects feature fA,
the feature fB gets automatically selected also, depening on a condition.

--This condition is the value of a property set before the CustomSetupDialog shows up.

Is this possible ? I was thinking a kind of solution like the WatchScroll - event or the License Agreement Dialog, but that works with a .dll custom action ... can this be done with some InstallScript action ?
or is it simply not an option ?

Thanks !

In MSI installations, features should not be dependent on other features at the sibling level.

To adhere to this, you might want to restructure your feature tree such that Feature A is a sub-feature of Feature B. This way Feature B can be selected without Feature A, but if Feature A is selected, then Feature B will always be selected as well.
