You can do a registry search to find the value of a registry key. For
example:
<Property Id='AUOptionsValue'>
<RegistrySearch
Id='RS_AUOptions'
Key='SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto
Update'
Name='AUOptions'
Root='HKLM'
Type='raw' />
</Property>
You might want to add Win64='yes' - I'm not sure what the impact of
setting this for a 32-bit machine is, however.
As for Microsoft Update, I'm not sure what the method of detecting this
is. Perhaps the DefaultService value under
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Services?

This check checks whether the host has MU configured. The call can
return 3 conditions: MU configured, MU not configured and AU is on, and
MU not configured and AU is off. The install script proceeds normally
if MU is configured, but opens up separate dialogs depending on whether
AU is on or off.
What is AppSearch and how can I include it in the installation script?
I'm still new at Microsoft (just started 2 weeks ago), so I apologize if
many internal terms are still foreign to me.

What exactly does this check do? Is it possible an AppSearch can do it
for you?

Rob and Jason,
Thanks for your prompt replies. It looks like I will have to write a DLL
CustomAction to set a Property's value and based on the Property's value
set I can sequence the UI dialogs or the actions to be executed in my
Wix script.
