    No independently selectable features?

    I have multiple features in my project. In many cases the end user will only want to install some of the features, which are all just data folders/files. If I install one of the features the first time through the install, it works great. However, if I run the .msi again, the Change, Repair, Remove dialog appears but the Change button is grayed out and says that I have no independently selectable features. What do I need to do to my features to make them available to be selectable? I have "Allow absent" checkbox enabled for my features.

    Thanks!

    MSI Factory admins - any idea on this one?

    I too have the same issue with an MSI I have created.

    It consists of multiple features - all at different levels.
    There are zero components in the MSI, each feature installs a specific Merge Module (containing the install files).

    A prompt reply would be great as this is my penultimate hurdle!

    Same issue here.

    Sometimes the maintenance screen contains the features, other times it doesn't. Seems to be something not quite right here.

    Indigo Rose? Any ideas?

    Hi there!

    First, please check whether you have selected the correct installation type named "Feature Tree" or not. Otherwise it won't work and the change button remains disabled. You can enable this option via the "New Project Wizard" or through "Dialogs->Advanced->Change Dialog Set...". If it doesn't fit your needs, please let me know.

    Regards,
    Marc

    Sorted

    Marc (mcaspari) you sir are a legend!

    That worked a treat.
    Having now looked at the msifact file using notepad I can see the differences between the UI sets.

    Thanks a lot chap!
