Thank you so much for creating this video. WiX has never worked properly, but after watching this video, I now know most of the reasons why.
WiX really is obscure with bolt-ons, little rhyme or reason, backwards logic (i.e. the productid is the upgradeid and the upgradeid is the productid), devs debating on stackoverflow how certain portions really work...
After watching this video I now understand it enough to do some troubleshooting.

Is it possible disable feature editing in the FeatureTree box?
As example... I have in RadioButtonGroup which two options of two features of different Mongo DB versions to install.
So user can install "MongoDB v3" or "MongoDB v5" - then I want that feature would be displayed in the Feature tree (read only) - but user would not be able to change to install it or not, but only for Mongo Feature - other features should be editable.
As I did not found solution how to do it - I hidden DB feature in FeatureTree.

I want to create MSI setup which contain 2 or more different application clubbed together with checkbox on custom dialog. user can select one or more application for installation and depending upon selection application should get installed. Also shortcut gets created separately for equivalent no of application installed.

Whoever scheduled this guy's turn did a really bad job. An excellent presentation spoilt by the fact it had to be so rushed.
