how to overwrite setup type and features selection
I'm using Installshield MSI project, what I wanna do is to overwrite the setup type(change complete and custom to type1 and type2), then select features based on the setup type user chose.
and I tried to use SetupType property to get setup type but failed.
any thoughts about it
Thanks

the property "_IsSetupTypeMin" works, now I can get the setup type defined in setup type dialog. the problem is after I change the default setup type(complete & custom) to type1 and type2, the feature selection dialog(CustomSetup) disappeared...

no matter what setup type I choose, the features selection is based on the default value of "_IsSetupTypeMin" specified in Property manager..
I add an action after setup type dialog and get the "_IsSetupTypeMin", it's actually the type I choose rather the default value..The only explanation is the feature selection happens "IsSetupTypeMin" is set in setup type dialog..
Anyone give me a solution, thanks.

What I have done (and what is working) is the following:
The radio buttons
In my setup I have a type for a complete installation, a custom installation and several types for different configurations.
To get something like this working, you need to adjust the behavior of the Next PushButton accordingly.
For instance, I have added events | arguments | conditions such as:
The behavior
[LIST=1]
AddLocal | ALL | _IsSetupTypeMin = "Typical"
Remove | ALL | _IsSetupTypeMin <> "Custom"AND _IsSetupTypeMin <> "Typical"
AddLocal | MyServer | _IsSetupTypeMin = "Server"
AddLocal | ManagementTool_1 | _IsSetupTypeMin = "Management"
AddLocal | ManagementTool_2 | _IsSetupTypeMin = "Management"
and so on ...
This controls the features that will be installed based on the setup type you select.
I hope this helps you.
The radio buttons
- I use the radio button group with the property _IsSetupTypeMin
- In this group I have a radio button for each setup type
- Each radio button has a name that starts with _IsSetupTypeMin and ends with a sequence number , _IsSetupTypeMin1, _IsSetupTypeMin2, ...
- Each radio button has a value and this value will be assigned to the _IsSetupTypeMin property when checked

Hello everyone. I have being trying to solve this problem, but I don´t know how to do it.
I have a radio button group with two radio buttons in a custom dialog, each button has a value, the button group has a property asociated. And when is selected the radio button, i think that the property will takes the value of the radio button, but it doesn´t. Do i need to do something else? Should I do something in the behavior?
Thanks in advance.
