How to prevent a feature from being installed?

davetu1.552491757202207E12 asked a question.

Our Basic MSI has a feature that we do not want installed if the OS is a Windows Server (MsiNTProductType<>1). Setting a condition on a feature to raise the install level only deselects the feature on the CustomSetup dialog. This does not stop the user from selecting the feature or from installing the feature from the command line during a silent install.

Any suggestions?

Create an install script custom action; code is below;

MsiSetFeatureState(ISMSI_HANDLE,"YourFeatureName",INSTALLSTATE_ABSENT);

call this before feature migrate state

It works with /qn option also.

better solution: Have the condition set the InstallLevel of the feature to "0". Then it won't show up in CustomSetup at all.
