Hidden features?

[rickr]

I'm considering a jump from Wise, but I can't figure out the InstallAware-equivalent of hidden features.

In the .msi Feature table, an individual feature can be visible or hidden. Wise supports this option, and in our project we have some features that are visible (and user-selectable), and some features that are hidden. The install states of the hidden features are manipulated by our private .dll code.

What is the equivalent structure in InstallAware?

Thanks!

Visible or not under a component set..
There a million ways to do it in InstallAWARE..

You can conditionally call (using If checks) Define Component and Delete Component commands. And when installing, you can again use If commands to determine which file, registry, and other installation actions happen based on component selections. Evaluate Expression is also a useful command to evaluate complex expressions.

Thanks--I get it now. I was confused by the redefinition of "component"...
