visual studio .net setup: My project features a data-gathering service that needs to only exist on one
workstation, and a reporting interface that exists on all user workstations.

How do I make my setup project query the user as to which component(s) are

In most cases you'd have a setup that organized functionality into features,
the kind of thing you see when you install Visual Studio and choose
features. Then later you can go to Add/Remove Programs and modify the
product to add or remove them. However Visual Studio setups don't do
features. The closest you can get is a condition on each item, where the
condition comes from a Checkboxes dialog inserted in the UI sequence, and
you don't get a choice to change your mind later.

Phils,

Do you know where I can find a walkthrough or example for creating a
conditional action in this fashion?

Thanks,
