I've just tried to set transitive="yes" for InstallParamsComponent component. It didn't help.
But I gather that if this attribute is set to "yes", the installer reevaluates the statement in the Condition upon a reinstall and either removes or installs the component. It is not exactly what I need; I just want this component to be reinstalled every time an installation package is run.
