Well, there is nothing inherently "wrong" with non-public properties.
Even from the UI. The "correctness" is conextual as to where you are
referencing the property which makes it very hard to catch in a
compiler. This is a logic error rather than a syntax error.

control
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.
