Re: [WiX-users] Feature List conditional control

Thu, 21 Sep 2006 06:50:47 -0700

As promised, here was the solution to the problem. I am attaching my new dialog (EnvironmentDlg.wxs) to the email and will reference a subsection of it to explain what I did.
Background: I wanted to create an installer that would install the same application across our staged environments (Dev, Test, Qa, & Prod) without changing the install package. My installer includes a new dialog (EnvironmentDlg) that allows the installer to pick their environment as a checkbox. Depending upon their selection, I wanted the feature tree in CustomizeDlg to be updated based upon the installer's selection. 


From New Dialog (EnvironmentDlg):

<Control Id="DevEnvironmentCheckbox" Type="CheckBox" X="18" Y="78" 
Width="330"
            Height="18" CheckBoxValue="1" Property="DEV_ENVIRONMENT" 
Text="Development">
 <Condition Action="disable">TEST_ENVIRONMENT = "1" OR QA_ENVIRONMENT  = 
"1" OR
                                          PROD_ENVIRONMENT = 
"1"</Condition>

 <Condition Action="enable"><![CDATA[TEST_ENVIRONMENT <> "1"]]> AND

                                          <![CDATA[QA_ENVIRONMENT <> "1"]]> 
AND
                                          <![CDATA[PROD_ENVIRONMENT <> 
"1"]]></Condition>

</Control>
<Control Id="Next" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="243" Width="56" Height="17"
            Text="&amp;Next">
...
 <Publish Event="AddLocal" Value="ConfigDev">DEV_ENVIRONMENT</Publish>
 <Publish Event="Remove" Value="ConfigDev">NOT DEV_ENVIRONMENT</Publish>
...
</Control>


From my main wxs file:

<Feature Id="Configuration" Level="1" Title="Web Application Configuration"

             Description="Handles configuration for selected installation 
environment"
             AllowAdvertise="yes" Display="expand" 
TypicalDefault="install">
 <Feature Id="ConfigDev" Level="1" Title="Development" AllowAdvertise="no" 
Display="expand"
               Description="Configuration (Development)" 
TypicalDefault="install">

   <ComponentRef Id="InstallInstDevCfg" />
   <ComponentRef Id="CreateTemplateWebSiteDev" />
   <ComponentRef Id="CreateWebSiteDevKey" />
 </Feature>
  ...
</Feature>


Depending upon the checkbox selected (Dev, Test, Qa, or Production [they are 
mutually-exclusive in my implementation]), the [Next] button fires a 
<Publish> event to either keep remove the four possible features.


Thanks to all for the help in finding the solution!
