Hi Rob,
Thanks for your answer.
Now I'm trying to add my new Component in a new Feature.
The problem is that I can't figure out where to add my Feature.
At the moment, I have only one Feature, and this Feature should always
be installed.
The Feature I'd like to add should also always be installed.
I tried adding it as a new Feature at the same level as the first
Feature, and I also tried adding it as a new leaf in the first Feature.
None of these configurations get my new feature to be installed. It
seems that I can't install the new Feature.
Here are the confs I tried:
#1:
<Feature Id='Complete' Level='1'>
<..... a bunch of existing components ....>
</Feature>
<Feature Id='Complete2' Level='1'>
<ComponentRef Id='MY_NEW_COMPONENT' />
</Feature>
#2:
<Feature Id='Complete' Level='1'>
<..... a bunch of existing components ....>
<Feature Id='Complete2' Level='1'>
<ComponentRef Id='MY_NEW_COMPONENT' />
</Feature>
</Feature>
Any ideas?
Thanks again for your help.
Fred
