How to disable a feature in MSI?

I got an exe and in the install instruction it is mentioned to Disable 2 features while installing. If you install you'll get an option to disable those 2 features.

I've extracted the msi and when we install the msi we don't have an option to disable features.

Please let me know how to disable those 2 features in MSI.

 

Thanks in Advance.

  • Thank you jagadeish. I have a question a feature will install only if installlevel>=feature level, right? If we change feature level to 0 then it'll be less than install level and it'll install, right?

    Thanks in advance.. - vinodreddy10 11 years ago
  • Yes.. but If the value of the Level column in the Feature table is 0, that feature is not installed and not displayed in the UI. A feature with an installation level of 0 (zero) is not installed during any installation, including administrative installations.

    INSTALLLEVEL property can have values from 1 to 32767 - jagadeish 11 years ago
