I am trying to keep installer size small. Because feature A2 is rarely used, but has significant size, I want it to be in different file that does not have to be present in order to install feature A1.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Features in different .msi If you are just looking for the feature to exist on disc, then you can use two separate .wxs files to build two installers. If you want them to live under the same application in ARP, then you're going to need to build one .wxs file, with 2 features in it. You can set up a feature to not be visible, and build your installer... Then you can switch visible features, and build again. Those two installers will have the behavior you want, with one exception. When you want both installed, you will enter a maintenance mode when the second installer runs. If you don't mind my asking, what exactly behavior are are trying to get out of this specifically? If you ask how to accomplish that, instead of dictating the solution, you might find more help from the guys here who have years of experience.
