mutually exclusive features

[overlordchin]

Is it possible to create a Parent Product with several sub features that are mutually exclusive? For example if I have Product A with feature 1 & 2 and you can only have one or the other. So in this case if I select to install feature 1 can it disable feature 2? Further more can I have one set to disabled or rather "will not be installed" by default?

Nothing built in other then putting conditions on the Next Button's control events to block the transition to the dialog.

Something like

NewDialog NextDialog Not(&F1=3 and &F2=3)
SpawnDialog NotAllowedDialog &F1=3 and &F2=3

I threw that together so be sure to test it. This doesn't scale well though so I did once create a custom action that read from a table:

&F1=3 and &F2=3 Error Message Order1

Basically the custom action would loop through the table and append to the error message any time a condition evaluated to true. Then it returned and figured out where to go from there.

DoAction CustomAction 1
NewDialog NextDialog Not ErrorMessage
SpawnDialog NotAllowedDialog ErrorMessage
