That code looks perfectly fine so the problem must lie elsewhere. Without being able to see your UI & Property code the only thing I can think of is your Property is being set from one value to another value when the checkbox is checked or unchecked. Your code is checking whether the value is set or not so when the checkbox is unchecked it should be unset (set it to "") if you want that Condition to evaluate to false. If you're setting it to TRUE or FALSE you'll have to change your Condition to test for that as Windows Installer knows nothing of boolean variables, all Properties are just text as far as it's concerned, it's how you use them that makes them something else.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Component installation status not affectedby condition? Thanks Pally. It doesn't seem to be working for some reason, whether the initial install has them turned off or on, I never seem to be able to change it. Everything I've read seems to indicate that it should work so I'll look over it all again - but in the meantime, here is what I have: <DirectoryRef Id="DesktopFolder"> <Component Id="MyApp.DesktopShortcut.Component" Guid="{removed}" Transitive="yes"> <Condition>INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT</Condition> <Shortcut Id="MyApp.DesktopShortcut" Name="MyApp" Description="MyApp" Target="[APPLICATIONFOLDER]myapp.exe" WorkingDirectory="APPLICATIONFOLDER" /> <RegistryValue Root="HKCU" Key="Software\MyApp\MyApp" Name="desktopshortcut" Type="integer" Value="1" KeyPath="yes" /> </Component> </DirectoryRef> And in the feature: <Feature Id="MyApp.Feature" Title="MyApp" Level="1" Display="expand" ConfigurableDirectory="APPLICATIONFOLDER" AllowAdvertise="yes"> .. .. <ComponentRef Id="MyApp.DesktopShortcut.Component" /> </Feature> I must be missing something.
