AFAIK, No.  Admin images are always exploded.  You scenario is a little 
unusual.  I'm a little surprised it works as well as it does.  <smile/>

Subject: [WiX-users] Feature Install Level base on external CABs


Hi,

I'm currently making an installer that uses multiple external CABs. Features
are disabled depending on which CAB files are in the same directory as the
MSI package. This way, I can have one MSI package and ship different set of
CABs to each clients. So, for each CAB file I search for it in AppSearch and
then set the install level accordingly like the following:

<Property Id="CAB1FOUND">
    <DirectorySearch Id="Cab1DirSearch" Path="[SourceDir]" Depth="0">
        <FileSearch Id="Cab1FileSearch" Name="Cab1.cab" />
    </DirectorySearch>
</Property>
...
<Feature Id="Feature1" Level="1">
    <Condition Level="0">NOT CAB1FOUND</Condition>
</Feature>


Although this works for local installs, Network administrative installs
(msiexec /a command) won't work at all. Since in admin installs, CABs are
decompressed in the network folder. Also, during the admin install, the
feature install level used is only the default ones. Therefore, it assumes
that all the CABs are present regardless. Is there a work around to get a
similar method working for network installs?

Thanks,
Vince
