I have some set of features in our product msi. Of those, two should be mutually exclusive. i.e., if one selected in the feature screen, automatically, other should be unselected. So, I created one more dialog “custom setup 1” as a clone of “custom setup” and swapping between these two for refreshing the values. And, when the feature A is selected, I am using the Remove event to un-select Feature B.
Dialog Event Behaviour sections
The dialog is working as expected in UI.
But it raised another problem. We have some custom actions, which should run anytime other than Uninstallation, i.e., install,repair,etc. So, I kept the condition as "NOT REMOVE".When we unselect the features using the REMOVE. Then these custom actions are being skipped now instead of running, as REMOVE property will have some values even during the installation.
Log : MSI (s) (EC:08) [16:42:01:683]: Skipping action: New_InstallService (condition is false)
Can you suggest an alternative for this?
