Hi, Features are meant to be groups of functionality of your software, not empty containers. You should be able to restructure your feature list so that installing just a specific feature "Will be installed on local Hard Drive" will install something meaningful and work. A child feature is usually an optional extra to the base feature.
If you really have 6 completely isolated separate features to install, you could make them a flat list and change the titles and descriptions to show how they relate to each other.

In the installation of our software, I have some features that don't themselves contain files to be installed but the sub-features do. The tree looks something like this: Root Feature (No files, just a container) Sub1 (No files, just a container) Feature 1 (files) Feature 2 (files) Feature 3 (files) Sub2 (No files, just a container) Feature 1 (files) Feature 2 (files) Feature 3 (files) I have the Root expanded, but not the Subs. He selected "Will be installed on local Hard Drive" for Sub1 and nothing was installed. Being the most knowledgable user of our software he was concerned other users might run into the same error. So, my question is, without expanding every level of the tree to see exactly what's going on, is there a way to have the features that do not contain files only have an "Entire Feature Will be installed." option?
