Huh, I just noticed that my explanation directly contradicts the behaviour 
you're seeing, so...either I'm wrong, or there might be something flaky going 
on in your installer.

As far as I understand it, "Installed" means, "Before this installer was run, a 
version of this program was already installed on this machine". Someone please 
correct me if that isn't quite true.

As far as &ftDatabase=3, I have no idea, I haven't yet seen that syntax yet.

Subject: [WiX-users] Question about conditional statements in elements

I'm very new to WiX and have inherited an existing project.  I've been 
deciphering it fine except for a few things.  In this project I have the 
following element:

<Show Dialog="WelcomeDlg" Before="ProgressDlg">NOT Installed</Show>

The question with this is the "NOT Installed" condition.  What exactly does 
"Installed" mean?  When I run this to upgrade and already installed application 
this dialog still shows up. SO, I'm not sure what Installed really means (there 
is also an Upgrade element in the project with a property assigned to it that 
is used in other controls throughout the project).

Next is the following syntax that I have in several control conditional 
statements:

&ftDatabase=3

The ftDatabase is the ID of one of the Features.  However, I don't know what 
value it would have.  Is this an install level value or install type value?

Thanks for some newbie help.
