My mistake, I assumed that the entire module is executed at one time.
Is there any variable that I can use to check if a certain module is
selected for installation?

Whether files or registry entries get copied or created is subject to
component and feature state conditions. Whether custom actions get
called or not is another set of conditions on each custom action.
If you can treat a merge module as a self-contained unit ("object
oriented") then the custom action conditions in the merge module should
always work properly - for example if they have conditions based on
whether their components are being installed/uninstalled etc.

Subject: [WiX-users] Custom Action in Merge Module
Do MM custom actions get triggered even if the module/feature is not
selected for installation?
I have included 2 merge modules in my setup something like:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="WEBDIR" Name="Inetpub">
<Directory Id="PxWS" Name="PxWS">
<Merge Id='PxWSModule'
Language='1033' SourceFile='../Release/PxWSMergeModule.msm' DiskId='1'>
<ConfigurationData
Name="PxFolder_Property" Value="[INSTALLLOCATION]" />
</Merge>
</Directory>
</Directory>
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
<Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION"
Name="Proximex">
<Merge Id='PxDbModule'
Language='1033' SourceFile='../Release/PxDbModule.msm' DiskId='1' />
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
<Feature Id="PxDBFeature" Title="Proximex Database"
Level="1" ConfigurableDirectory="INSTALLLOCATION"
TypicalDefault="install" >
<MergeRef Id='PxDbModule' />
</Feature>
<Feature Id="ProximexWebService" Title="Proximex Web
Service" Level="2">
<MergeRef Id='PxWSModule' />
</Feature>
Now when I run the setup and select only PxDbModule it still perform the
actions from PxWSModule (it doesn't seem to copy the files but the
custom actions seem to get triggered
Do I need to add any condition in my custom actions so that they don't
get triggered?
Thanks
