You don't have to. And the condition equal to the name of the property will check if it was defined, that is, if the user entered anything to your edit box.

Subject: [WiX-users] General global Property question Hello everyone, I was wondering, when i have a global property which gets it's value only from let's say an Edit Field in a dialog, should i define it in my main wxs file as well? i.e <Property Id ="CONNECTIONSTRING" Value="0"/> or not? The reason i ask is because even if i don't add the above line, it still works.
