Yes---setup types aren't a native concept to Windows Installer, they're just a bunch of features. In your custom custom setup dialog box, you can use AddLocal and related control events to controls which features are selected when the user picks a setup type and clicks Next.

I have another question related to this.
I was reding the "Q103232: HOWTO: Implementing Setup Types in a Basic MSI project " article and in there, there is a very good example of how to set the Install Level of the features for different setup types. In that example the Install Level of setup types are determined as:
and the Install Level of the features are determined as:
So, files are installed as follows:
What if I had a fourth setup type called Minimum2 and I wanted to only install Help.hlp onece that option was selected.
Is that possible to implement? if yes what the Install Level numbers should set to?
Thanks in advance.

and the Install Level of the features are determined as:
- App.exe: 1
- Help.hlp: 101
- Example.txt: 126
So, files are installed as follows:
- Complete: App.exe, Help.hlp, Example.txt
- Custom: App.exe, Help.hlp
- Minimum: App.exe
