Thank you for your response.
In what way would automatic generation be more fragile? Isn't all the
information available for an automated approach? When it comes to
converting one format to another the computer is usually better than
me at getting it right.

Automatic generation cannot pick up the intent of your settings, only
the raw registry values. Often you'll find that self-registration will
register many more settings than should really be made - for example, I
have a COM DLL written in VB6, and its self-registration (as captured by
tallow)
Doug:If you are sequencing based on a feature, your example is nearly correct. You can also do this based on a specific component, but the syntax is slightly different. The ampersand is for feature actions, dollar sign is for conditioning based on component actions.
Thanks to all who replied. I tested both variations
(Component and Feature) and I got both working. My problem is that I learn
best by example. I read the MSDN links before posting but I just couldnt
figure out the WiX syntax (got close this time). Thanks again guys!

OK, I was sure that I had seen an example of this one. How
do I set a component specific custom action?
Lets say I have 3 features that the user can select
to install. For one of those features I need to execute a custom action to so something

I have started with this:
Property

CustomAction Id=MyAction
ExeCommand=Readme.txt

Custom Action=''
I've encountered a similar problem, it seems the permission element doesn't take into account the condition of the component it's within. This also seems to occur both with the generic MSI way of doing this and the extended WiX secureobj custom actions.

I still don't really understand why the Class table is being
de-emphasised. I suppose it's possible that if you advertise a Class -
say for a feature that is installed on first use - that that feature
will be installed if some third-party program references it, which could
