Better to write your CustomActions to be data driven and use Component
states to control when things get installed. That's what the WiX custom
actions do so there is plenty of example code.

Can you provide more context. Are you sure the condition is getting

FWIW, I'm a strong advocate of the use of internally generated merge
modules to support decentralized setup development, but I am very, very
wary of using merge modules from third parties. It usually doesn't end
well.

If you were using the MSM simply because it is a container of files
themselves, you can get the same effect by "binding" the files to the WixLib
by supplying the -bf flag to lit.exe. In MSBuild/VisualStudio, you can do
