I'm updating one of our installers to support change/modify and I'm running
into a few issues that I don't understand. I'm using the WixUI_FeatureTree
sequence. And, for the first time installation, by default, we want none
of the features selected for install. This works. However, later during a
'change' sequence in which we add an additional feature AND select one
feature for uninstall we end up with NO features installed on disk. Why is
this happening?
More details...
RootFeature
--WebSites
----Public
----Private
--Tools
----Tool-A
----Tool-B
For my initial fresh install, I choose to only install 'Public". That
works fine. Later I select "Change" in Programs/Feature and 'add'
Private. Again, this works as expected. However, when I choose 'Change' a
third time, I mark Private for uninstall and mark Tool-A for install, the
end result is *ALL* of the features are removed from *DISK*. Though
entering the Change a fourth time, it appears as though Windows thinks
Public and Tool-A are installed.
Full Feature code (though some of the fluff removed for brevity):
<Feature Id="RootFeature"
Level="2"
ConfigurableDirectory="MYROOTDIR"
InstallDefault="local"
AllowAdvertise="no" >
<ComponentGroupRef Id="LogsFolderComp"/>
<FeatureRef Id="WebSites"/>
<FeatureRef Id="Tools"/>
</Feature>
<Feature Id="WebSites"

</Feature>
