You need to make the custom action conditional based on the Installed or REMOVE properties (depending on your exact requirements), and on the &Feature syntax.
Something like this, maybe:
<Custom Action="" After="InstallFiles">(NOT Installed) AND (&MyFeature=3)</Custom>
Prefixing & onto the feature name gets the requested state of that feature, and 3 means "local". The Installed property is set if your installtion is running in maintenance mode, and REMOVE is set to a list of the features that are currently being removed, if any are being removed.

Hope that helps

I've recently started looking at the WiX toolset and have come across a
requirement I can't seem to get round, I'd be grateful for any hints
that might help.
I have a custom action that I want to execute only at installation and
only if a particular feature has been chosen for installation. Is this
possible?
Thanks in advance
