This has come up a couple times on the mailing list in the past and
just came up again the other day, so I decided to write up a blog post
on the technique.
Branching Wizard Sequences With WiX
<http://wp.me/pyVNs-fC>
Wizard dialog sequences are common in Windows Installer packages
as they lead the user through a series of questions to customize
the installation of a product. Welcome to the install, select the
installation directory, ready to install and so-on are common
dialogs present in the wizard dialog sequence. Sometimes you need
to make a choice between two dialogs based on the user's input,
however:

So you'll need to branch to different dialogs on the Next button
of the Installation Type dialog (and the Back button of the
Install Location dialog) based on the user's input. This post
describes the best way to achieve this branching dialog behavior
in Windows Installer, using Windows Installer XML (WiX) as the
authoring tool.
