Is it possible to do this by modifying the MSI?
Yes. You can modify the Feature rows' Level column (e.g., to 0 to
disable features).

Nested installations were deprecated (in MSI 3.0, I believe). They're no
longer listed in current SDKs:

Rene,
Sorry, I guess I should have been more clear. While support for nested
installs is mentioned in the SDK, the official word from the Microsoft
Installer team themselves is "Don't use them".

Are you sure? Is the Platform SDK wrong then? I do see a non supported for

When installing 2 applications I would like the 2nd to always be the
"Home Directory" of the default web site on the machine it gets
installed on. This works when the installation happens with 2 machines
(1 application on each machine, both home directories). However when
they are both on the same
My web applications that I create don't delete the virtual dirs/apps
from the Default Web Site section in IIS. The folders created are gone
but you can see the app in the IIS. Has anyone been able to uninstall a

Rene,
Nested installs (running one MSI from within another) are not supported
by Microsoft Installer.
You need to use a bootstrapper. Check the archives of this mailing list
for suggestions.

Hi all,
Is there a specific reason that you cann't author a nested installation (Custom

2.0 tree and I think I shoud be able to squeeze that in in
ParseCustomActionElement but before getting my hands dirty I wonder if
The problem with msizap is that it just nukes the Windows Installer knowledge
of your product. You still have all your installed goo all over the place.
Personally, I treat a machine that had msizap.exe run on it as a contaminated
machine and will never use it for verifying installs after that
You are the freaking man.
That did it. Thanks

I'm not sure, but maybe it's trying to compare the property

Maybe you need INSTALLUNINSTALL="INSTALLER"

One more thing I'm not getting and maybe this deserves its own thread,
but I've got the following two CA's:
INSTALLUNINSTALL=INSTALLER
INSTALLUNINSTALL=UNINSTALLER
In my log I see this line:

INSTALLUNINSTALL property. Its current value
Thanks Chris and Rob. For what it's worth, I was still having trouble
using Rob's advice (although admittedly, I could have been messing it up
myself somehow), but I used Chris' method and I'm back up and running.
Thanks guys.

I've also discovered that you can use msizap to force remove
uninstallable applications. Msizap comes with the windows platform sdk
and is used like so...
msizap T {product code}
Is using msiexec /fv the preferred method Rob?

1923 is the generic error message you get when the service fails to install.
The error message is basically useless. That makes debugging the

Ahh, dude, your MSI (it does look like it is running the already installed
version) is accessing that file for some reason and can't find it. Can't
decipher much more than that from the log file.

What do you mean by the install "crashes with an error message"? Installations
