You could have a component with just the file, and one with the file and the service install, and then give them mutually exclusive conditions. > > If not, I can live with the server file only > copied when the service need to be created.

Don't you just list the component under the features it applies to, and don't list it under the ones it doesn't?

Are the you referring to the condition as a feature of WiX and not a Feature element, and it's on the Component element instead? Have you tried reversing the Condition to make sure you've not got the "include/exclude this Component" the wrong way round? > > > > For my test, I use the WixUI_Mondo UI and I > created 3 Features to allow select the Install > type > > > > <Feature Id="MainTree" Title="My Product" > Level="1"> > > > > <Feature Id="MinimumFeature" Title="Server" > Absent="allow"Level="1"> > > <ComponentGroupRef Id="Common_Core"/> > > <ComponentGroupRef Id="Common_Poco"/> > > <ComponentGroupRef Id="Script_Core"/> > > > > <ComponentGroupRef Id="Services_Core"/> > > <ComponentGroupRef Id="Services_Modules"/> > > </Feature> > > > > <Feature Id="TypicalFeature" Title="Client" > Level="3"> > > <ComponentGroupRef Id="Common_Core"/> > > <ComponentGroupRef Id="Common_Poco"/> > > > > <ComponentGroupRef Id="Modules_Core"/> > > <ComponentGroupRef Id="Modules_A"/> > > > > <ComponentRef > Id="Comp_StartApplicationShortcuts"/> > > </Feature> > > > > <Feature Id="FullFeature" Title="Client > Server" Level="1000"> > > <ComponentGroupRef Id="Common_Core"/> > > <ComponentGroupRef Id="Common_Poco"/> > > <ComponentGroupRef Id="Script_Core"/> > > > > <ComponentGroupRef Id="Services_Core"/> > > <ComponentGroupRef Id="Services_Modules"/> > > > > <ComponentGroupRef Id="Modules_Core"/> > > <ComponentGroupRef Id="Modules_A"/> > > > > <ComponentRef > Id="Comp_StartApplicationShortcuts"/> > > </Feature> > > > > </Feature> > > > > Any Cue on Best way to do will be welcome J > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Achieve unprecedented app performance and reliability > What every C/C++ and Fortran developer should know. > Learn how Intel has extended the reach of its next-generation tools > to help boost performance applications - inlcuding clusters. > http://p.sf.net/sfu/intel-dev2devmay ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Achieve unprecedented app performance and reliability What every C/C++ and Fortran developer should know.
