Is there a way given a feature list

Languages
---English
---French
---Spanish

to force at least one language to be installed?

You will just need to check the feature states on the next button of the feature select screen.

&English=3 OR &French=3 OR &Spanish=3

You can then display a dialog on this control event condition.

That's what I'm doing now. It's a bit more complicated than the scenario that I had given so the code is more complex. I was hoping there was some kind of feature parent setup in msi that would allow you to say at least one feature child must be installed without having to use a ca.

Hi Luke,

I need to do something similar to this - i.e. detect which of 2 optional features have been selected so I canprompt the user for some more info - can you explain a little more what your solution entails?

Cheers

On the 'Next' button of the dialog, you will need to create a control event that has a condition of &Feature=3 (when the Feature is selected to install), and that opens a new dialog that allows the user to add in the extra information for that feature.

Does that make sense?
