I don't see why it would be a problem to have it scheduled in both as it amounts to the same thing, the property is set before the last dialog is shown and before the files are installed.
Maybe I should clarify my question: I have an installer with 3 features, a b and c, each contain a component a, b, and c. A and B are visible, selectable features, C is hidden. I want C to be installed only with B but it can't be a child feature as it is in another file and used by other installers. I also want to show or hide the "launch app on exit" checkbox, which launches a file in feature C.. how do I do this seemingly simple task?

'Sequence' attribute controls which sequences the Property assignment is sequenced in. For 'execute', the assignment is scheduled in the InstallExecuteSequence. For 'ui', the assignment is scheduled in the InstallUISequence. For 'both', the assignment is scheduled in both the InstallUISequence and the InstallExecuteSequence. The default is both. Features' selection is independent for non-parent/child features.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Set property from feature I see, so when I ask for CostFinalize I get it in the UI AND execute sequence. Is there any way to tell it to only use one of the other? Would this have a knock on effect on using the same property to enable/disable other features?

If you need you property to show checkbox on UI you don't need SetProperty on InstallExecuteSequence. To correctly set check box you have to run SetProperty before your dialog with checkbox is shown.

I have a feature "feWIA" and I wish to set a property to "1" when it is selected to be installed. I've tried just about every combination I can think of but they always result in the property being set incorrectly when i do or don't select that feature to be installed: <SetProperty Id="CONFIGREQUIRED" Value="1" After="CostFinalize">?feWIA>2 OR $feWIA>2</SetProperty> <SetProperty Id="CONFIGREQUIRED" Value="1" After="CostFinalize"><![CDATA[&feWIA=3]]></SetProperty> <SetProperty Id="CONFIGREQUIRED" Value="1" After="CostFinalize"><![CDATA[(!feWIA=2) AND (&feWIA=4)]]></SetProperty> <SetProperty Id="CONFIGREQUIRED" Value="1" After="CostFinalize"><![CDATA[NOT Installed AND &feWIA=3 Or &feWIA=4]]></SetProperty> any more offers ladies and gentlemen?
