Create Files and Folders only if feature is installed

How do I ensure that a specific folder is only created if a specific feature is installed? Seems like a basic question but I'm having trouble doing it.

Scenario:
Software has a feature called "FRF Viewer" and has associated files and folders synchronized to C:\Installer\Viewer. I put all the components associated with this Folder under the "FRF Viewer" feature. Now when I install the software and disable the "FRF Viewer" feature on installation it still create the Files and Folders associated with it's components. How do I prevent the installer from creating these Files and Folders when this feature is disabled/unchecked?

I'm using the Pro version, if that helps.

Thanks.

Hi,

Simply placing the files and folders into a specific feature should work. If it doesn't, can you please send us the .AIP (project) file you are using to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate it?
