Take a look at the Conditional Statement Syntax http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368012.aspx
&featureId must be compared to a numeric value depending on what you are trying to determine. For example, the feature would be set to install if &featureId = 3, where 3 is INSTALLSTATE_LOCAL. -Brian Simoneau -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lawrence Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2007 2:55 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Feature installation condition Hi all. Forgive me if this has been covered before, but I can find no information in the archives. I am using wix v3 (through visual studio), which admittedly may not be the best way to learn but it does seem to have a more inclusive feature set. I am trying to do a conditional reboot, depending on whether or not a certain feature (or component) is installed. Looking through google, I found that I should be able to use &featureId to test for this and on the Installer SDK is a list of variables such as &featureId, !featureId and $componentId, but nothing seems to do the trick. If I try this: <InstallExecuteSequence> <ScheduleReboot After='InstallFinalize'>(&featureId)</ScheduleReboot> </InstallExecuteSequence> I get an error saying that a ';' was expected. I have tried with and without brackets. Any other variable I try, such as !featureId or !featureId=4 seems to cause a reboot whether or not I install the feature. When I try NOT !featureId it doesn't reboot no matter which feature I install. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance.
