That's unfortunate. In that case is it possible to check a condition
and produce a (non fatal) error message if necessary when the feature
is enabled? 


Sure. The WiX v3 setup does something like that, to show when Votive 
prerequisites aren't met. See src\Setup\VStudio.wxs.

Not with the selection tree control. It doesn't support read-only 
features.

[WiX-users] Disabling a Feature

2007-03-16 Thread Geoff Finger
I have a feature that can only installed if .net 1.1 or higher is also
installed. The description for the feature indicates this requirement
but I don't want to trust to the users' good sense, some of them will
either not read the message or ignore it and get into trouble.

Searching through the archives showed several posts about disabling a
feature by using a Condition to set the Level to 0. I tried this and
it worked fine except that the feature wasn't just disabled, it was
entirely removed.

I'd like the feature to be visible but unchangeable from the won't be
installed state so the users can select it and see the requirement in
the description and then go install .net if necessary. Is there any
way to do this?

Thanks!
