Hi, Bob.
Custom action <Custom Action='BackupFiles'
Before='InstallFiles'><![CDATA[&F_Online=3]]></Custom> will perform whenever
the feature "F_Online " is selected to install. Try include in your condition
this: (Not Installed). It should look like this:
<Custom Action='BackupFiles' Before='InstallFiles'><![CDATA[Not
Installed AND &F_Online=3]]></Custom>
P.S. Bob, tell me please, how do you know about the feature can be referenced
in a condition as "&feature_name"?
Regards,
Denis Zavorotnyuk
