Dear Wix Users,

I'm working on the feature selection GUI of a custom (managed) BA. When
running for installation, I need to determine which features of each
package in the bundle should be installed by default: unless I'm missing
something, this depends on comparing the INSTALLLEVEL property of the
package to which a feature belongs and the @Level attribute for the feature
which can be found in BootstrapperApplicationData.xml.

My questions are:

1. Am I correct about how to determine which features should be selected
for installation by default? If not, what is the right way?

2. If I am correct, how should I obtain the INSTALLLEVEL property of the
package? Will the suggested method work if the package binary is not
distributed with the bundle (ie, it must be downloaded if required).

3. Why isn't it the INSTALLLEVEL property of each package stashed as an
attribute of WixPackageProperties in BootstrapperApplicationData.xml? This
would seem to make sense to me, and be consistent with the existing
stashing the Level field from the Feature table as an attribute in
WixPackageFeatureInfo elements.

Many thanks,

Tom
