I'm not sure about the WiX syntax but in MSI terms: if the component condition evaluates to FALSEthe component will NOT be installed. And if it was True in the first time install and then becomes False in the upgrade, that component will be REMOVED - but only if the component has the transitive flag set. Otherwise the condition willö not be re-evaluated.

With no success... My problem is really to affect a condition to a component. It seems that whether my condition is full filed or not, the component is upgraded in both cases. This is what my code looks like: <Property Id="ENGINECONFISINSTALLED"> <RegistrySearch Id='EngineRegPath' Root='HKLM' Key='SOFTWARE\MyProduct\Engine' Name='InstallDir' Type='directory'> <DirectorySearch Id='FindEngineIniFilePath' Depth="2"> <FileSearch Id='FindEngineIniFile' Name="ampm_engine.ini" /> </DirectorySearch> </RegistrySearch> </Property> <Component Id="APM_ENGINE_CONFIG_REF" Guid="4C6B380E-4DFE-458C-A29F-8A0C434E7F70"> <Condition>ENGINECONFISINSTALLED</Condition> <File Id="ampm_engine.ref" Name="ampm_engine.ref" KeyPath="yes" Source="$(var.FACT_DESTDIR)\var\config\ampm_engine.ref"> <CopyFile Id="APM_ENGINE_CONFIG_INI" DestinationDirectory="config" DestinationName="amengine.ini" DestinationLongName="ampm_engine.ini" /> </File> <IniFile Id="EnginePort" Action="addLine" Directory="config" Name="ampm_engine.ini" Section="NETWORK" Key="Port" Value="[PORTNUMBER]" /> </Component> I thought that the upper code would allow me to perform the component's tasks only if ENGINECONFISINSTALLED was false (that would be on a first install). What I'm trying to do is condition the whole APM_ENGINE_CONFIG_REF component. But I can't : whatever I put as a condition, the component tasks are executed (on first install AND on upgrade) I must be doing something wrong here, but I can't find out what...
