It doesn't evaluate correctly until after the CostFinalize action.
When does that happen?
My experience is that the Feature property is correct in the following
dialog boxes. I use that in my install sequence to skip a dialog box if
the corresponding feature is not selected, as demonstrated in my
Beginner's Tutorial, on this page:

So then is it correct to say that FEATURE doesn't evaluate to
anything during the UI Sequence? Or do I have my Publish actions below
screwy?
Here's an example: In my main Installer .wxs file I have...
Feature Id=FEATUREAAA Level=1
Then in a secondary file dialogs.wxs on a Next button I have
Publish Event=NewDialog
Value=AAADialog![CDATA[FEATUREAAA = 3]]/Publish
Publish Event=NewDialog Vaue=NormalDialog1/Publish
It ALWAYS goes to NormalDialog regardless of whether or not I
select FEATUREAAA in the customization step earlier in the UI sequence.
Any thoughts or help? Thanks,

find anything on wix-users asking quite the same question I am.
Our product consists of FeatureAAA and FeatureZZZ. We
need to enforce that the user has selected at least either FeatureAAA or
FeatureZZZ to install. I've tried using a Publish - SpawnDialog to throw
an error as well as a Condition to disable the control like those used
in the LicenseAgreementDlg, both trying to tie into FeatureAAA 3
AND FeatureZZZ 3 with no luck. My guess as to why that happens is
that perhaps the features aren't set to their new states until after
this dialog has been processed, but that's a total guess.
Is there a better (or any) way I should be doing this?
Thanks,
