Hello!!!

My package MSI is made up of several features (8).
When I install my application, I choose to install one feature. For example, the feature called “Client”.
After, in a second time, I restart my package MSI. So, I’m in maintenance mode. I choose the option “Modify” and I install another feature (called “Console”) by the Action “AddLocal”, when I push on the button “Install” in the user interface “VerifyReadydlg”.
The new Feature is installed but Windows Installer reinstalls the missing components of the Client feature.
Could you tell me if there is a method to add a feature when the application is already installed, without to reinstall the feature present?

Thanks in advance

Hello!!

I have resolved my problem by the suppression of the ComponentId (GUID) in the Component table.

In fact, my component is only used during the installation and it's not necessary after.
