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 9999 which will be above your standard INSTALLLEVEL.

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!
