I am in the process of attempting to migrate several (10) installs from Wise
to Wix and have come across an issue I am not certain how best to deal with.
Nine of the installs are branded versions of the first, each of which only
differs slightly from the main install. In Wise I used the condition table
to adjust features for each OEM, allowing the complete tree to be consistent
throughout all the installs. Unfortunately I cannot see a good way to
utilize approach this in Wix.

The Wix docs indicate that the Condition element may be a child of a Feature
element, which in turn will generate an entry in the condition table. Well
and good. However, there seems to be no effective way to adjust these
entries - beyond perhaps conditional defines (not scalable) - on a per
install basis. 

So, finally my questions: how hard would it be to adjust the compiler to
allow a FeatureRef to be the condition parent? The intent would be to still
create the condition table entry, but would allow me to isolate these
entries to each installation project. Alternatively, is there some other way
to approach this? I suppose I can export an idt of the table and import it
after the msi is generated, but that would not be my first choice approach.

Thanks,
