Windows Installer doesn't support that so the WiX toolset can't either.

Subject: [WiX-users] Modify behavior of tree selection control?
(Sorry if this is an FAQ. If so, I haven't found it yet, and please
point me to it.)
I want to modify the context-menu that appears when you click
on the drive+arrow icon in the standard feature-selection control,
on a per-feature basis. Specifically, I need to
* no "entire feature will be installed" when feature is a leaf
(and otherwise handle parent-features differently from leaves)
* no "feature installed when required" (no on-demand install)
* no "installed to run from network" (force local install)
* disallow ANY selection when the feature is already installed
(features are databases user may have updated, want to make
them "install-only" so that user updates are never lost)
[BUT have to allow select/deselect of not-yet-installed features]
and the biggie:
* pop up an edit box when the feature is selected for install,
allow entry of an activation code for the feature, vet the
code against a database, and allow re-entry of the code if
the entered value is invalid, etc.
Some features need a code, some don't and just need selection.
Ideally, I would also like to be able to control the icon displayed
for a feature: not just drive+arrow or red-X+arrow or grayed for
parent feature with some-but-not-all subfeatures selected, but
e.g. green for "already installed" etc.
Is this possible with WiX? If so, how?
Or am I better off writing my own control?
Thanks for your help.
