I wonder wether it is possible to set the install level of a feature while runtime.
I want a specific feature not to be installed using  default setup on a specific OS.

Thank you

Yes, using feature conditions.

Hello,

I am trying to setup a project that allows a user to install MSDE 1.0 or
MSDE 2.0 based on whether they are connecting and synchronizing with a SQL 7
or SQL 2000 database.  I am trying to hide and disable the version that is
not chosen by the user from the install by setting the level in the feature
condition to 0 instead of 1.  I thought this would be possible by just using
the condition that checks a property I created for a particular value.  This
doesn't seem to work.

I can get the condition to work when I am checking for properties that are
set by Installshield.  For instance:  I can check for a particular OS and
install a feature based on that.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Feature conditions are evaluated during CostFinalize, i.e. before any dialogs are displayed.
