That didn't work. The Condition on the component is still:
SS_INSTALL_COM.98D2E4B9_9DA9_4F65_86A2_C71387B2AE10=1.
I Don't see anywhere in there where you declare the property before you use it.
You may want to declare the property first
Using tag
its thinking that SS_INSTALL_COM is a property of the component and attaching
