Thanks for ur replies.

i got it.

Final conclusion:-

if you have 2 or more features and you want some of them not to
install(automatically when installer runs) unless user wants to install all
the features in CustomizeDlg dialog or if he selects COMPLETE installation.

For this you can initially set* Install level > INSTALLLEVEL* property for
package for the feature you dont want to install automatically.

and in this case, TYPICAL installation will not install this feature, but
COMPLETE will install this..
