Re: [WiX-users] Forcing conditional feature install

Properties should be set after msiexec parameters. Move the /lv*!
install.log to before you declare your properties.

If that doesn't work try without the # in your properties or try
changing the Feature Level to something arbitrarily high like  which
will be above your standard INSTALLLEVEL.

Subject: [WiX-users] Forcing conditional feature install

Hi all,

I am trying to do an admin install of an MSI with a conditional feature
and I need the feature to be installed regardless of the condition.  The
condition is a property which I've tried setting on the command line,
but the feature still isn't installed.  It appears that the condition is
being ignored.  Is there a way with an admin install to force all
features to be installed?  Any help would be much appreciated.

Here is the command I am running:
msiexec.exe /qn /a myinstall.msi TARGETDIR=C:\temp\msitest
MY_PROPERTY=#1 ADDLOCAL=ALL /lv*! install.log

Here is a line from my log file showing that request and action are null
for this feature:
MSI (s) (04:64) [15:00:39:123]: Feature: FT.MyFeature; Installed:
Absent;   Request: Null;   Action: Null

Below is the authoring for my feature:
Feature Id=FT.MyFeature Title=My Feature Absent=allow
AllowAdvertise=no Description=My Feature Description
Display=expand Level=0 InstallDefault=local
TypicalDefault=install
  Condition Level=1  ![CDATA[MY_PROPERTY = #1]]
/Condition
  ComponentRef Id=CP.Some_Component /
/Feature

Thanks!

Jeff

As documented, admin installs install all features except those with 
level 0.
