Makes a lot more sense now, thank you.

The dollar sign ($) on the front of the component name MyVbsCa means to use
the value of action state of the component, that is, what is going to be
done to the component. ">.2" means to check if the action state is
greater than 2, where 2 means "not present or installed" or being
uninstalled. There are values 3 (install locally) and 4 (install from
source) for a component, so > 2 would mean "install locally" or "install
from source". So essentially, they are just checking to see if the
component is going to be installed. See

Subject: [WiX-users] Question about variables
I'm decoding someone else's setup and it has the following custom action
definition;
<CustomAction Id="CA_ActionId" FileKey="MyVbsCa.vbs" VBScriptCall=""
Execute="deferred" />
...
<Component Id="MyVbsCa" Guid="GUID_GOES_HERE">
<File Id="MyVbsCa.vbs" Name="MyVbsCa.vbs" KeyPath="yes" Vital="yes"
Source="MyVbsCa.vbs" />
</Component>
...
<ComponentRef Id="MyVbsCa" />
Plus the following scheduling of that action.
<Custom Action="CA_ActionId" Sequence="5904">(CTL_SetDefault = 1) AND
$MyVbsCa>2</Custom>
>From what I understand, $MyVbsCa is a variable but it is not used anywhere
other than those lines above. I can't see that it gets set, so all I can
think of is that it gets set somewhere as a side effect.
Am I missing something or does the above not work correctly?
Regards
Ryan
