Summary: Feature Condition is not evaluated during install.

Initial Comment:
example code:

<Feature Id="MyFeature" Level="1" Absent="allow" AllowAdvertise="no" 
Description="My Feature Description" Display="hidden" Title="MyFeature">
  <Condition Level="0"><![CDATA[MYPROPERTY = "False"]]></Condition>
  <ComponentRef Id="MyComponent" Primary="yes" />
</Feature>

<Property Id="MYPROPERTY" Secure="yes"><![CDATA[False]]></Property>

No matter what MYPROPERTY is set to, the Level of the Feature will never be 
changed during install time. This is contrary to the documentation at 
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix2/wix_xsd_condition.htm

One can switch the behaviour by setting the Feature Level to "0" and the 
Condition Level to "1" which will result in the Feature always being installed 
no matter what MYPROPERTY is set to.

It appears that the Condition Level is evaluated at build time, not at run time.
