Release Flags on Features
Hi,
Suppose I have these release flags:
32BIT
64BIT
PRODA
PRODB
Now suppose I want to show the feature only for for 32BIT PRODA. If I use 'Release Flags' on the feature of 32BIT,PRODA I will get the feature for any 32 that in the How do I specify

Looks like this will work to exclude the feature from the FST for PRODB.
Release Flags 32BIT
Condition Level: 0 NOT PRODA

Hi @rguggisberg
When you build your release, you can include and exclude features, InstallShield prerequisites, and chained .msi packages depending on the type of release. For example, if you are creating a trial version of your product and do not want to include all the features in the build, you can flag features and then specify those flagged features under the product configuration or the release.

Hi @banna_k,
Yes, it is easy to include features... but not to exclude features
Suppose I have these release flags:
32BIT
64BIT
PRODA
PRODB
PRODC
And these releases:
PRODA_32 with Flags 32BIT, PRODA
PRODA_64 with Flags 64BIT, PRODA
PRODB_32 with Flags 32BIT, PRODB
PRODB_64 with Flags 64BIT, PRODB
PRODC_32 with Flags 32BIT, PRODC
PRODC_64 with Flags 64BIT, PRODC
Now suppose I want to show the feature only for 32BIT PRODA. If I use 'Release Flags' on the feature of 32BIT,PRODA I will get the feature for any release with 32BIT flag and any release with PRODA flag. You get the idea... I have multiple releases and I want to now have 32 and 64 bit for each. How do I specify this?
Thanks
