And there is no way to delay CostFinalize to just before the featuretree dialog is displayed ? > Off the top of my head, I can't think of an > easy way to do what you want.

It IS possible to customize it from the outside using the command line to set properties, and that's why it seems silly that it's (seemingly) impossible from within. Being forced to ship the .msi with a .exe just to set up a few properties seems rather lame. > You might want to consider custom > feature-selection dialogs instead.

What Remove and AddLocal do is not what I'm struggling with - that is rather easy to do from the DLL or the MSI. It also seems strange that the feature tree is allowed to control what is installed, but at the same time this is the only way to offer install choices from the inside of the MSI ?
