Thanks for the attempt, but that's not it. I tried changing the
condition to test against an integer and it does the same thing. The
log does show that the property values are being treated as integer, but
a similar condition in the UI section does a character test that works
just fine.

Are you really setting that property to the text value of "0" or "1", or
are
you setting it to an integer? You might want to try:
AuthBASE = 0

Hi All,
I'm working on an install that uses a Custom Action to validate an
authorization key. Depending on the value of the key, I want to disable
the features that aren't authorized. I know you can disable a feature
by setting it's level to '0' via a conditional, so my CA sets a
property, Auth[feature name] to '0' or '1' depending on whether or not
it's authorized. For example, the BASE feature checks the AuthBASE
property. My feature definition looks like this:
<Feature Id='BASE' Title='This is the BASE feature' Level=1
AllowAdvertise='no'>
< ... component references ... >
<Condition Level="0">AuthBASE = "0"</Condition>
</Feature>
The problem is that this doesn't work. I can change the condition to
...>NOT AuthBASE = "0"</... and the feature goes away, but that just
seems to say AuthBASE isn't known. I've checked the log and the Auth...
properties are set before the FeatureTree dialog shows up, and they're
set correctly.
What am I doing wrong here? Thanks for any advice.
Lewis

What tool version are you using to build your Dll? Msvcrt.dll goes
back to VS 6.0.
And what's dutil.lib/dll? Nothing in the SDK about it. And which
version of the Platform SDK/Windows SDK are you using?

I'd appreciate any advice that could point me in the direction of
solving this problem.
With my project settings as they are, if I build the dll and the
installer, the installer will fail with the usual premature termination
error, because my dll failed to load.
I started working from a template I found online, so I may have been
following bad practices.
I'm compiling with /MT and have the following lines in my source
#pragma comment(lib,"msi.lib")
#pragma comment(lib,"shlwapi.lib")
#pragma comment(lib,"libcmt.lib")
#pragma comment(lib,"dutil.lib")
#pragma comment(lib,"advapi32.lib")
#pragma comment(lib,"wcautil.lib")
If I add this line
#pragma comment(lib,"msvcrt.lib")
Before the libcmt line, I get the warning LNK4098: defaultlib
'libcmt.lib' conflicts with use of other libs
That makes sense to me, because from what I understand, msvcrt is the
dynamic multi-threaded library, and libcmt is the static one. The dll
that results from having that line added is much smaller, which makes me
believe its now dynamically linking dispite the /MT flag.
The part I'm having trouble understanding is that with msvcrt.lib, the
installer works (on systems where the runtime is installed), but without
it, the installer dies un able to run the dll code.
I'm assuming its either an issue with the project properties and/or my
use of those #pragma directives, but I'm not sure how to proceed.
Any ideas? (Obvious ones included :-) )

So now's the time to add logging or even a MessageBox call to verify
that the function is now being loaded and executed.
Based on everything I've learned to this point, all signs point to
something wrong in how I built the dll.
I have logging throughout the dll already, and the project settings are
all that changed (it was semi-working before.)
In the past these "executing action failed" errors have meant a missing
dependency. My tendency here is to suspect I have mismatched libraries
or something along those lines, though I've got nothing to base that on.
