WIX Feature Tree with Checkbox selection

Question

I am in need to add a Features tree with checkbox selection to my msi. Can any one point me to some sample as how to achieve this please?

I already have one Feature element (ProductMain) that installs all the mandatory components. I have tried using the built-in CustomizeDlg and FeaturesDlg but not sure how to change the Selection tree to use Checkboxes

I am using WIXUI_Common set of dialogs.

I would appreciate any suggestion/guidance in this regard.

Sincere thanks!

You're limited to the UI supported by Windows Installer (which is quite limited). I don't think you can customize the SelectionTree control to display checkboxes. Alternatively, you can emulate the desired behavior by placing a number of checkboxes on a dialog and implement a certain logic to set feature levels.
