                Thanks for the help. I can see that I need to use the & 
operator in the condition statement.
   
  In the Wix xml file, I still dont know what the syntax should be. Here is 
what I am trying
   
   <Control Id="Next" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="243" Width="56" Height="17" 
Default="yes" Text="$(loc.WixUINext)">
     <Publish Event="NewDialog" Value="[WixUI_CustomizeDlg_NextController]"> 
&Documentation = 3 </Publish>
   
  Documentation is the ID of a feature. I am trying to check if this feature 
has been selected to install.
   
  I am getting the following error when I run candle:
  fatal error CNDL0031: An error occurred while parsing EntityName.
   
  Thanks,
  Hammad

    Take a look at the feature action and & and ! operators.

      Hi,

    I installed the MSI SDK but I was unable to find Examples of Conditional 
Statement Syntax. Is it possible for you to paste the relevant example in this 
mail thread?

     

    Or you can just tell me what property do I need to look at if I want to 
find out if a feature was selected for install?

     

    Thanks,

    Hammad

    I want to add a custom dialog in the UI sequence after the Feature 
selection (Customize) dialog. The feature selection is done through a 
SelectionTree control. How can I figure out if a particular feature was 
selected and launch the custom dialog?

    
See "Examples of Conditional Statement Syntax" in the MSI SDK.
