Hi Rob,

Last compile I tried the following:
NOT (GUI="1")
And it did not work either, it fails with the specified message of the

Wendell,
Thanks for your reply.
The reason it surprised me is that the WiX didn't complain. I had a
clean compile and link. Perhaps this shows up when using an install
verifier?

There is probably a way to influence the installation options for a feature.
It would be logical that the user would only have the option "Will be

Just a sanity check. In your last message you said you were setting a UI_RAN

Funny, Rob introduced WiX to the world with the statement:
"Finally, the decompiler, called dark, can take existing MSI and MSM files
and generate XML source code that represents the package."

No, it just means that the compiler and linker *thinks* it's smarter then I am

WiX is just more pedantic and ultimatly useless since it constrains
