Thanks for the ideas but unfortunately, I can't seem to get them to work. With the line suggested below (and several variations of it), the files will not install regardless of if the '[OSINSTALLDIR]\PUBLIC\SH4' is there or not. I've used /l*v with msiexec but there doesn't seem to be any logging that shows the condition statement being tested. Is there another way of seeing this? What does level="101" indicate about the Feature? Could it indicate that I should be putting he condition at another level other than Feature? Could the fact that the feature is pointing to a ComponentGroupRef mean that I need to do something different with my condition? What about a fragment? I may be grasping at straws but those are the main differences between the sample code that works and what the code I'm trying to integrate this into. Again, thanks for any help y'all can provide.
