Thanks,
It worked fine.
I didn't use the ALLCAPS version because i like camel-casing, has better
readability.
I notice many properties are in allcaps, is a limitation of MSI ?
If so i think it should be verified on the schema and warm or force the user
to change it to allcaps.
Many thanks.

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.
