Hello Oliver,
thanks for your help, but i´m not really sure if this helps.

1.) Go to the Setup Types view and add your feature to the type Minimal. This type is a default created with a setup project. It includes all features necessary for your application to work.
|
We don´t use the default setup types, but three setup types which we created ourself: Standard (which is similar to Minimal), Full and Custom. In all three of them the new feature is selected, but after an update the feature is not installed.

2.) Specify your Crystal Reports feature in the property Required Features of a feature, which is always installed. You can do it in the Setup Design or Features view.
|
The new feature is required for using the reports in the application. But some of our customers have newer versions of Crystal installed (which we don´t support officially yet). For these we added the new feature, so Crystal can be installed optionally. Or in other words: this feature must not be always installed.

3.) Select the feature in your script using the function FeatureSelectItem().
|
Maybe this is the most promising way. I know this function and i also thought about using it. But i don´t know, in which event in the script i should use it. It must be an event, which is only run in updatemode or at least i must know at runtime in the event, in which mode i am (so that i will call the FeatureSelectItem-funtion only in updatemode). I.e. in OnBegin the system variable UPDAETMODE ist always 0. The function OnUpdateUIBefore is neither added in the script by default (and so can´t be chosen by the pulldown menues) nor can i add it manually (message "function has no prototype declaration" (i hope this is correct, because i´m using the german version)). Does anybody have any ideas about that?
Best Regards
Jörg
