Conditional folder installation

[fasilak]

Hi,

This is the folder structure of my final build of MSI

Code: Select all

Setup.msi
setup.exe
-->APPDIR [Folder]
  -->Folder 1
  --> Folder 2
  ---> Folder 3

Now I dont want folder 2 to be installed. while the MSI runs.. How can I achieve this?

I have created 3 features
folder 1 feature
folder 2 feature
folder 3 feature

I know it can be achieved through custom actions! But I dont know how?
Can you please help me out in this regards,

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

There is no need for a custom action.

If all the files and folders from "Folder 2" are placed in a single feature (feature 2) all you have to do is go to the "Feature Properties" pane ("Organization" page) and set the "Install Level" for this feature to 0(Disabled). The components from this feature will not be installed.

Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Best regards,
Ciprian
