Use AskOptions function to achieve your objective. Look into the Installshield Help for details.

Hi MSIYER,

I don't want to open a new dialog. My scenario is like, I have one dialog in which I have one checkbox, if user select that check box, 2 radio button will enable. If user select either of the radio button, some selective feature will install. for eg: For Radio Button 1 ( A,B and C) feature will install and if he select radiobutton 2, (D,E and F) feature will install. I have also attached the screenshot of my dialog for your reference. Also, I am working on InstallShield 2011, Basic MSI project.

Thanks
Aditya

You are probably using the RadioButton Group control.
In the event of user clicking on any of the radio buttons, a Property must be set. This property can be fetched later using MsiGetProperty. According to the value of the property, you can use MsiSetFeatureState function to toggle the feature selection.

First of all, make sure the compoents with the files are conencted to the appropriate features (in Setup Design view).

Then, in dialog editor, go to the "Behaviour" node of the dialog, select the "Next" button. Add a new control event called AddLocal, eneter the feature name as Argument and use a condition based on the radio button property. This will select the feature. Add another control event called Remove for the same feature with the opposite condition to un-select it. Repeat for the other feature.
