To be perfectly clear, you are trying to bypass a feature that was put in
place to protect users. I don't work with drivers and don't really know a
whole lot about them, in general, but I don't think you'll get a lot of
support trying to hack around the protection. The whole thing sounds pretty

Yeah, that scenario just doesnt work right. The problem is that Assemblies
going to the GAC arent committed until the very end of the install. That

I'm assuming that this is a lack of understanding on my part and is more of
an MSI question than Wix itself.
I have a dialog which requires you to enter the Database Name before you can
click on Next. I have a condition on the Next Button that makes sure the
Database Name is entered.
WiX 3.0 has a very different method of customizing the dialogs than WiX 2.0
which is so far undocumented. It's (hopefully) much more simple.
Basically, just grab a sequence file from the sources that is similar to
what you want (like WixUI_Mondo.wxs) and put that in your sources and modify

What are you trying to do overall?
Using feature conditions in a component’s condition is a little awkward –
usually features directly determine if a component will be installed.

Tallow (for WiX 2.0) and Heat (for WiX 3.0) are the standard ways of
