Does the Windows Installer support such a scenario? -----Original Message----- From: Alex Ivanoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 10, 2008 15:25 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Features in different .msi
Yes, you are right: I want the same product codes. Here is some scenarios. a1.msi has feature A1 of product A, a2.msi has feature A2 of product A. 1. If you install a1.msi, you will get product A with A1 installed. If you install a2.msi later, you will get product A with features A1 and A2 installed. 2. If you install a2.msi, you will get product A with A2 installed. If you install a1.msi later, you will get product A with features A1 and A2 installed. 3. At any point if you uninstall product A both features get uninstalled. -----Original Message----- From: Ian Elliott (Excell Data Corporation) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 10, 2008 16:25 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Features in different .msi I got the feeling he wanted to have the two installers somehow be the same product because he was asking about features. What you say is true as it's easy to do with two separate product codes and using shared components.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Features in different .msi That is true. He'll need to use different product codes, but the same GUIDs for any files that are shared between the installers.

Once you install package A and then try to install package B, it will likely put you into maintenance mode.
