Hi,
I have 2 features which i am installing silently based on some conditions.
I want to have a separate entry for these features in add/remove programs, so that i can uninstall them separatly.

Please help.

Thanks

Then you should split your project into two setups. Otherwise users should click the Modify button and select which feature they want to uninstall in the feature tree dialog.
As a workaround you could have your script generate an additional uninstall registry entry which would call your setup (basically in the same way as the automatically generated entry) but specifies a custom command line parameter which tells your setup to uninstall only that one feature.

Thanks for your response. I understood your suggestion but don't know how it will help. I cannot split the setup now as i am at the end of the development.

Here is what i did as per your work around suggestion.

1) I created UNINSTALLKEY when i run a setup first time.
2) It creates a correct entry in add/remove programs.
3) But it doesn't uninstall the installed feature.

code:
========

IFX_PRODUCT_NAME = "PRODUCT1";
IFX_PRODUCT_KEY = "APP";
UNINSTALLKEY = "APP1";
// Create the application information key and provide
// information to create the per application paths key.
InstallationInfo(IFX_COMPANY_NAME, IFX_PRODUCT_NAME, @PRODUCT_VERSION, IFX_PRODUCT_KEY );
SdProductName ( IFX_PRODUCT_NAME);
nResult = DeinstallStart( svTarget, svLogFile, IFX_PRODUCT_KEY, 0 );

FeatureSetTarget(MEDIA,"<FOLDER>",TARGETDIR);
FeatureSelectItem(MEDIA, "NEWFEATURE", TRUE);
FeatureMoveData(MEDIA,nvDisk,0);

szReferenceFile = svTarget ^ IFX_PRODUCT_KEY; // TO DO : If your file is in a
// subfolder of svDir add that here
DeinstallSetReference( szReferenceFile );

If you want to remove a feature you need to un-select it, using FeatureSelectItem with FALSE

[AshokGupta]

Can you tell me how can i implement your suggestion mentioned below?

As a workaround you could have your script generate an additional uninstall registry entry which would call your setup (basically in the same way as the automatically generated entry) but specifies a custom command line parameter which tells your setup to uninstall only that one feature.

In your script you can call:
FeatureSelectItem(MEDIA, "FEATURE_YOU_WANT_TO_REMOVE", FALSE);
