Re: [WiX-users] FeatureTree: how to disable the feature selection ability if certain condition isn't met
1. MSI feature tree doesn't let you "grey out" the feature. However, you can use a feature condition to totally remove it from the tree. If you do this though you need to ensure that the feature is always enabled on remove or else it will be orphaned. See Bob's post: http://www.joyofsetup.com/2008/05/16/make-sure-features-are-always-enabled-so-they-can-be-removed/ http://www.joyofsetup.com/2008/05/16/make-sure-features-are-always-enabled-so-they-can-be-removed/ . 2. The correct way to register a dll is to author the registry values in the MSI (there is a ton of information on why running self-registering dlls is a bad idea). Look up the information on heat...it will extract the registry information and add it to your component. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/FeatureTree-how-to-disable-the-feature-selection-ability-if-certain-condition-isn-t-met-tp5613038p5638642.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Download new Adobe(R) Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 The new Adobe(R) Flex(R) 4 and Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 (formerly Flex(R) Builder(TM)) enable the development of rich applications that run across multiple browsers and platforms.

[WiX-users] FeatureTree: how to disable the feature selection ability if certain condition isn't met
We have a feature which is an Outlook plugin. Two questions - 1. We allow the end user to install the feature only if the user has Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2010. So I added some code to detect if Outlook is installed in target machine. Then when I installed it in a machine who doesn't have Outlook, I saw there is a 'X' mark on the feature itself. The feature is disabled. This is good. But the user can still change it to be "Will be installed on local hard drive.". Is there a way to disable the feature selection? Such as, grey out the feature selection on GUI in this case? Here is my code: FOUND_OUTLOOK2007 OR FOUND_OUTLOOK2010 2. We need to register a dll if the end user chooses to install the feature. If the user doesn't install the feature, then we shouldn't try to register the dll. I found a solution which seems working. But I'm not sure if it's the proper way to do it. Here is the code: (Not Installed) AND (&Feature_OutlookPlugin = 3) Is this correct? Thanks everyone. -- Beautiful is writing same markup.
