is this possible?

Probably but it would be more complex.

that's a very helpful anser ;)

It's accurate though... One approach might be

1) Build a package that has everything
2) Write a script that goes through the XML files and removes source targets & non-trial stuff from the generated XML, and deletes the corresponding packages if it's a trial distribution.


Only two steps, but number 2 requires some work.

The *simple* solution is to have two different installer projects, and manually coordinate them.

Step 2 is complicated by the fact that PM may change the internal names of the XML files in the package if you change something. If you change things through the GUI, you need to verify the names of the files the script is processing. You also need to watch out for this if you've got your projects in a SCM system. You might make an apparently trivial change and then find out there are a number of files that need to be added and/or deleted from the SCM repository...
