Remember that costing happens twice, once during the UI sequence and once during the install sequence. I suspect that if you based on your feature conditions on public properties, they'd apply during the installation sequence, when CostFinalize is run. They just don't show in the selection tree control because costing was already done. Try an experiment: Use checkboxes to set public properties and then *don't* show a selection tree control. When the install sequence runs, it should use those properties in the feature conditions.

And yes, it has some annoying limitations. That's why there's AddLocal and Remove control events. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
