First of all i am at rukky level on installshield.

I created an install application that has two features:
Feature1 with the destination propriety set to"[ProgramFilesFolder]/Bentley/V8Files"
Feature2 with the destination propriety set to "[AppDataFolder]/Bentley/XMFiles"

1)Each feature have components and each components set different destination.
2)I created a user interface that has two radiobutton:
a-First radiobutton's name is V8(its' value ="V8")
b-Second radiobutton's name is XM(its' value ="XM")[attachment.jpg]


So, that is what i couldn't:

Feature1 and it's components will install when you push the fist button. Or
Feature2 and it's components will install when you push the second button.

-i tried component condisions but i failed.(installing nothing)

-i added "addLocal" event to "next" button which is in user interface that i've been created.

Ver= Name of the radiobutttonGroup property
event:AddLocal
argument:V8Files
condition:Ver= "V8"

event:AddLocal
argument:XMFiles
condition:Ver = "XM"

but i faild.(it works but installing everting)


What is the problem? What is the best and easy way?

Thank you for your help.

With AddLocal you're already half way there. But you also need to add emove events:
event:Remove
argument:V8Files
condition:Ver != "V8"

Dear Stefan,

Thank you first of all,

but it does't work. it still installs everthing. But i know what is wrong, i guess:
There is a problem with my "costom actions and squences" because of the the last event i changed; (May be don't)

1.event: AddLocal
1.agument:V8Files
1.condition:Ver = "V8"

2.event: AddLocal
2.agument:XMFiles
2.condition:Ver = "XM"

3.event: Remove
3.agument:V8Files
3.condition:Ver = "XM" (opposite of what you wrote. because when i pick "V8" button, "XMFiles" musn't be installed)

4.event: Remove
4.agument:XMFiles
4.condition:Ver = "V8"

5.event: NewDialog
5.agument:ReadyToInstall
5.condition:Ver = "XM"(Default value was "1". I think, program can't jump the "ReadyToInstall" when i pick the "V8" button because of the condition, right?)


So, there're 5 events and my msi file installs everything.
May be there is a problem with "costom actions and squences". Of course i can't rule it exactly. Picture of my "costom actions and squences" is attached.

Not sure about your intention with event 5, but everything else looks okay. Generate a log file to see if the properties are getting set correctly. Maybe there's some other dialog that does a AddLocal=ALL (e.g. the SetupType dialog)
