Try making the property public (ALLCAPS):
<Control Id="StartAppWithWindowsCheckBox" CheckBoxValue="1"
Type="CheckBox"
Text="Start app on windows startup" Width="300"
Height="30" X="30" Y="60" Property="STARTAPPWITHWINDOWS" />
Then reference it in the component condition as the all-uppercase
property name.

Subject: [WiX-users] Conditional registry key using CheckBox
control
Hi,
I tried several ways and can't set a registry key only when the
user checks a checkbox.
I Create a component with a condition that checks a property
(initialy set to "1" to make the checkbox control checked by default),
however it seems that the property value is not set by the control and i
have the Property attribute set for that control. The dialog is show
just before the VerifyReadyDlg the dialog sequence is the same as the
WixUI_InstallDir except for that extra dialog that has some checkboxes
to conditioning some aspects of installation (this was the first i tried
to get working, so the other do nothing for now..)
Here is the relevant part of my wix file:
<Component
Id="StartApplicationWithWindowsStartupComponent" Guid=".......">
<Condition><![CDATA[StartAppWithWindows =
1]]></Condition>
<Registry Root="HKLM"
Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" Name="App"
Action="write" Type="string">
<RegistryValue>"[INSTALLLOCATION]App.exe"
-startup</RegistryValue>
</Registry>
</Component>
...
<Property Id="StartAppWithWindows"><![CDATA[1]]></Property>
<Dialog Id="BeforeVerifyReadyDlg" Width="370" Height="270"
Title="$( loc.CustomizeDlg_Title)">
<Control Id="StartAppWithWindowsCheckBox"
CheckBoxValue="1" Type="CheckBox"
Text="Start app on windows startup" Width="300"
Height="30" X="30" Y="60" Property="StartAppWithWindows" />
....
I tried to get this to work like the way is show on a mailing
post that shows how to create a conditional shortcut but doesn't work
well in all situations.
Help is really appreciated.
Thanks.
