When are Featurestates updated?
First off I am using Wise Installation Studio to make my installer and using their default dialogs etc. I don't know if that helps. I want to be able to save what features the user has decided to install or not install during a custom installation. At what point in the installation sequence is the FeatureState updated with the user's changes? I assume I will need to place my custom action after this to save the feauture state?
