Hello Again,
Bob: I tried what is suggested in your blog but I am at the exact
situation which Peter faced mentioned in #9 on your blog.
So Bob as you mentioned there: "It's not possible to change how the
selection tree control works, just modify what's shown."..... How can I
HIDE the feature from selection tree.
Sam: I don't want user to modify to be able to modify the features once
I validate and set features they are entitled too.
Regards
Rohit

I am still new to WiX, but maybe set each feature's level to 0 then
changing them to 1 with your custom action. Then when the user gets to
the customize dialogue they should be able to enable disable the
feature.

See http://www.joyofsetup.com/2007/05/30/feature-conditions-and-ui/.
Feature conditions aren't constantly evaluated; instead, they're
evaluated by specific actions, which sees the FEATUREx property not set
(or some other default value you give it) and therefore sets the feature
level to 1.
As an aside, licensing via installation is wide open to piracy.
