Hi ,

I am having a puzzling issue with a wix (v3) project, whereby after
installing the product with all features,
then doing a maintenance setup and select 'Change' and removing one feature,
then the next time we do a 'Change' run again, another feature appears as
advertised, for no visible reason.

I cannot repeat the problem with a smaller test setup, so I am not sure
where to look.

The scenario is as follows.

a/ We run the install first selecting for example feature A, B and C.
b/ After this, we run the installer again to Change the feature set.
   there we remove feature C.

c/ After this we run the installer again and select 'Change' again. Now
feature A appears in the selection tree as advertised (with a little yellow
'1' overlaid on icon). The strange thing is that feature A has the attribute
'AllowAdvertise' set to 'no'.

I have put some possibly relevant portions of the log files for each step
here:
a/
MSI (s) (4C:90) [17:50:30:247]: Feature: featureA; Installed: Absent;
Request: Local;   Action: Local
MSI (s) (4C:90) [17:50:30:247]: Feature: featureB; Installed: Absent;
Request: Local;   Action: Local
MSI (s) (4C:90) [17:50:30:247]: Feature: featureC; Installed: Absent;
Request: Local;   Action: Local

b/
MSI (s) (4C:94) [17:54:58:528]: Feature: featureA; Installed: Local;
Request: Null;   Action: Null
MSI (s) (4C:94) [17:54:58:528]: Feature: featureB; Installed: Local;
Request: Null;   Action: Null
MSI (s) (4C:94) [17:54:58:528]: Feature: featureC; Installed: Local;
Request: Absent;   Action: Absent

c/
MSI (s) (4C:78) [17:57:53:106]: Feature: featureA; Installed: Local;
Request: Null;   Action: Null
MSI (s) (4C:78) [17:57:53:106]: Feature: featureB; Installed: Advertise;
Request: Local;   Action: Local
MSI (s) (4C:78) [17:57:53:106]: Feature: featureC; Installed: Absent;
Request: Local;   Action: Local

I am not sure if this is relevant but we use a fairly customised UI based on
the Mondo set.
Would anybody have any idea about possible investigation directions?



Regards,

Philippe
