WIX Installer UI - How to create feature selection

Time:02-18

I created a WIX Installer without really knowing a ton about WIX. I do like that I know what I am installing, where I am installing it, and how to create the setup application. However - I can't seem to figure out how to give checkboxes for each feature.

For example, I set my program up to have 2 features:

<Feature Id="AdminClient" Title="Admin Client" Level="1">
</Feature>
<Feature Id="AppDB" Title="Application Database" Level="1">
</Feature>

For this application, I want the installation to allow the user to check the boxes of the stuff they want to install. For example - quite often the user will already have an application database and I do not want to overwrite that database.

I will also be adding other optional features and would like to have selection options for those.

I've played around with WixUI_Advanced and WixUI_InstallDir - but didn't see a way to do it with either. But, again, I'm not great at this yet.

The WixUI_FeatureTree and WixUI_Mondo dialog sets expose a feature selection dialog.
