As Stefan pointed out, you need two separate MSI packages to get two entries in ARP. My point was that one way to offer functionality that can be added or removed is to have a package with two features and a single entry in ARP, and then users can use the modify in that single ARP entry to remove (or add) features. Using features like this is generally safer if the two components you're referring to are connected in some way and perhaps sharing files.

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.

It is not possible to have one entry in ARP (add remove programs) for each component.

Thanks for your time Bob. > 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. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2006 10:41:30 -0500 From: "Joe Harbert" Subject: [WiX-users] Install Different Components on Different Drives To: Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII 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.
