As Chris outlined in in his answer, If you want an Install time variation point you'll have to go the mutually exclusive component route or the harder dynamically emmited ServiceInstall table route using custom actions that leverage SQL Temporary Tables. ( Much harder... )
The first involves defining a component for each startup option you want to support, condition the components, and utilize the remember me pattern to persist the users choice across upgrades and repairs. The second is much harder to get right, and would take an advanced understanding of Windows Installer. -----Original Message----- From: Rob Reynolds [mailto:ferventco...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2013 12:48 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] How to pass an enumeration as a variable?
