I can't get the "<>" comparison to work in the CDATA statement for my Condition elements and trying to set a default value on the property that is being tested is breaking them as well.
I have a radio button selection during the setup that determines whether the service that is being installed will be run by the system or a user, with elements such as this: <Control Id="AccountName" Type="Edit" X="120" Y="85" Width="150" Height="18" TabSkip="no" Property="SVCACCOUNTNAME"> <Condition Action="disable">SVCLOGONTYPE = "System"</Condition> <Condition Action="enable">SVCLOGONTYPE = "User"</Condition> </Control> I haven't determined a better way to handle the actual installation than to have two almost identical components, one with Account and Password attributes in the ServiceInstall element and the other without. In the feature I have two sub-features that I'm trying to choose between using Condition elements. I've gotten the following code which works: <Feature Id="SystemService" Display="hidden" TypicalDefault="install" Level="1"> <ComponentRef Id="SystemServiceComponent"/> <Condition Level="0"><![CDATA[SVCLOGONTYPE = "User"]]></Condition> </Feature> <Feature Id="UserService" Display="hidden" TypicalDefault="install" Level="1"> <ComponentRef Id="UserServiceComponent"/> <Condition Level="0"><![CDATA[SVCLOGONTYPE = "System"]]></Condition> </Feature> There are two changes I'd like to make, I'd like to change it so that the condition for disabling the SystemService feature is that SVCLOGONTYPE is not set to "System", rather than disabling it if it is set to "User." However if I change the "=" to "<>" and swap the names then no matter which option I select neither gets installed. The log file shows Feature: SystemService; Installed: Absent; Request: Null; Action: Null Feature: UserService; Installed: Absent; Request: Null; Action: Null but as far as I can tell there's no logging of the evaluation of the Condition statement so I can't tell what's going wrong. Second I want to have the radio buttons default to "System" rather than neither being selected when I get to that page. However if I add <Property Id="SVCLOGONTYPE">System</Property> then again neither element gets installed and the same messages show up in the log. There are also messages like PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying SVCLOGONTYPE property. Its current value is 'System'. Its new value: 'User'. So I know that the default is being used and then getting overridden, but again there's no debug info about the Condition evaluation so I don't know why neither feature is being installed. Any help on how to fix this, especially the default property value, or some other workaround on how to make the dialog start with "System" selected, would be greatly appreciated!
