From help topic "InstallShield Visual C++ vs. Professional Edition":
InstallShield Visual C++ edition does not let you create more than five components or let you create subcomponents. InstallShield Professional Edition lets you create any number of components and subcomponents.

The VC++ Edition is the only free version.

If you are looking for a free installation tool you could use Microsoft's Visual Studio Installer, which is based on Windows Installer technology.

Windows Installer supports "sub features" which is equvalent to sub conmponents in InstallShield VC++ Edition. Visual Studio Installer (VSI - the authoring tool) doesn't give you access to everything that Windows Installer (the technology) can do, so I'm not sure that you can create sub features with VSI. If not you would have to use additional tools (like the low level installer database editor Orca).
Maybe a VSI user can answer this question?
