I have difficulties to disable/deselect a subfeature during run time.

In a custom installation mode a have a feature with two subfeatures. They are not self-excluding!

What I tried to do is checking for a certain registry key in a custom action function and use the function

MsiSetFeatureState(hMSI, "Feature\\SubFeat1", INSTALLSTATE_ABSENT);

when the registry entry doesn't exist. The function is fired up when the user selects "Custom Installation" and hits Next.

This approach works fine on a parent feature, but it seems not to work on a subfeature...

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

In Windows Installer this works differently than in InstallScript. Use just the feature name, without parent
MsiSetFeatureState(hMSI, "SubFeat1", INSTALLSTATE_ABSENT);
