Summary0015236: CPACK_COMPONENT_GROUP can de-select required children
DescriptionI have some required features inside a group.
Now in the WiX installer, I cannot deselect the features separately, but I can de-select the group as a whole.
I didn't find a way to make the group required.

No idea how this bahaves with the other generators..
Steps To ReproduceSET(CPACK_GENERATOR WIX)
# documenting the components
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_RUNTIME_DISPLAY_NAME "Runtimes")
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_RUNTIME_DESCRIPTION "!(loc.FeatDescRuntimes)")
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_BASE_DISPLAY_NAME "Base")
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_BASE_DESCRIPTION "!(loc.FeatDescBase)")
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_SHARED_DISPLAY_NAME "Shared")
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_SHARED_DESCRIPTION "!(loc.FeatDescShared)")
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_PYTHON_DISPLAY_NAME "Python")
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_PYTHON_DESCRIPTION "!(loc.FeatDescPython)")
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_CONVERTER_DISPLAY_NAME "Converter")
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_CONVERTER_DESCRIPTION "!(loc.FeatDescConverter)")
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_VIEWER_DISPLAY_NAME "Viewer")
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_VIEWER_DESCRIPTION "!(loc.FeatDescViewer)")
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_PL2D_DISPLAY_NAME "PointLine2D")
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_PL2D_DESCRIPTION "!(loc.FeatDescPointLine2D)")
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_PL3D_DISPLAY_NAME "PointLine3D")
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_PL3D_DESCRIPTION "!(loc.FeatDescPointLine3D)")
# grouping
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_GROUP_REQUIREMENTS_DESCRIPTION "!(loc.FeatDescRequirements)")
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_RUNTIME_GROUP "Requirements")
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_BASE_GROUP "Requirements")
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_SHARED_GROUP "Requirements")
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_PYTHON_GROUP "Requirements")
# requirements
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_RUNTIME_REQUIRED TRUE)
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_BASE_REQUIRED TRUE)
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_SHARED_REQUIRED TRUE)
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_PYTHON_REQUIRED FALSE)
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_CONVERTER_REQUIRED FALSE)
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_VIEWER_REQUIRED FALSE)
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_PL2D_REQUIRED FALSE)
SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_PL3D_REQUIRED FALSE)

translates to features.wxs :
<Fragment>
        <Feature Id="ProductFeature" Display="expand" ConfigurableDirectory="INSTALL_ROOT" Title="PointLine23" Level="1">
            <Feature Id="CM_G_Requirements" Title="Requirements" Description="!(loc.FeatDescRequirements)">
                <Feature Id="CM_C_runtime" Title="Runtimes" Description="!(loc.FeatDescRuntimes)" Absent="disallow"/>
                <Feature Id="CM_C_base" Title="Base" Description="!(loc.FeatDescBase)" Absent="disallow"/>
                <Feature Id="CM_C_python" Title="Python" Description="!(loc.FeatDescPython)"/>
                <Feature Id="CM_C_shared" Title="Shared" Description="!(loc.FeatDescShared)" Absent="disallow"/>
            </Feature>
            <Feature Id="CM_C_converter" Title="Converter" Description="!(loc.FeatDescConverter)"/>
            <Feature Id="CM_C_pl2d" Title="PointLine2D" Description="!(loc.FeatDescPointLine2D)"/>
            <Feature Id="CM_C_pl3d" Title="PointLine3D" Description="!(loc.FeatDescPointLine3D)"/>
            <Feature Id="CM_C_viewer" Title="Viewer" Description="!(loc.FeatDescViewer)"/>
        </Feature>
Additional InformationWix does support hidden features, this would also solve the problem.
http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/wix/feature.html [^] -> Display:hidden

So for my case, two different solutions could solve it:
 * SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_GROUP_REQUIREMENTS_REQUIRED TRUE)
 * SET(CPACK_COMPONENT_RUNTIME_HIDDEN TRUE)
TagsNo tags attached.

If I could append attributes with a patch file, that would also work.
