It may be that features are what you could use. If each component is in its
own feature then users can go to the single entry in Add/Remove and choose
to add or remove each feature.

Hi,...

It is not possible to have one entry in ARP (add remove programs) for each
component. The only way to do this is to create two MSI packages.

In WiX v2, you can use custom actions or control events to set the value
of the properties WixUI uses for the Back and Next button navigation. In
WiX v3, you can publish "floating" control events instead, which is
easier because you don't have to modify each the dialogs that are
affected, just copy the set fragment and change the Publish elements.

It depends on what the custom action does. Machine changes shouldn't be
made from the UI; instead, the UI should gather the needed data and the
CA scheduled appropriate in the execute sequence.

What does your CA do? Maybe there's another way of doing it.

You should look at the Msix64 property instead. VersionNT64 is set on
all Win64 platforms, including Itanium. (Pretty rare, granted.)

No, but in WiX v3, you can add "floating" Publish elements to add

There's already support for that behavior in WiX v3. Just specify
property values for WIXUI_EXITDIALOGOPTIONALCHECKBOXTEXT and ExitDialog
shows a checkbox and sets WIXUI_EXITDIALOGOPTIONALCHECKBOX to '1' when
checked. You can also show a text box by specifying
WIXUI_EXITDIALOGOPTIONALTEXT.

Hi,

I have an installation that needs to install some components onto the machine's C drive and other components onto the machine's E drive. Is there an easy way to do this? I've searched through the mailing lists and googled but have not found a way to do this. I'm using WIX 3.0 by the way.

I have two features. And only one of them should be installed. I want to
show a dialog with Feature tree that will drop installation state of one
feature when the other is selected to be installed.
Is it possible to create such behavior with WiX code or I need to make
sort of CA?
