I want to drive the installation of features based on what is detected by windows installer. The idea is to run a setup.exe parent installation program that shall in turn determine whether the windows platform is x86, x64 or IA64 and invoke a setup.exe program. Furthermore it would check whether the OS is linux or windows and whether there is oracle or exchange installed. Based on this it would chain invokation of naother setup.exe program.

This could be implemented by having different sequences which would contain custom actions of type 50. Further each end to end installation could be associated as a feature which would be tied to a particular sequence.
1)I would like to know how to tie a feature with a sequence

2)Secondly the feature installation would be driven not by selection from UI but rather by detection by Windows Installer as to what windows platform is and what application (oracle or exchange) is installed on the user machine.

There's no way to install features in a specific order. And Windows Installer doesn't run on Linux.
