I see the confusion now. I am trying to use a Variable element within Bundle
element.
<Bundle Name="$(var.ProductNameLong)"
Version="1.1.0.0"
Manufacturer="MyCo" UpgradeCode="Put-Guid-Here"
IconSourceFile="some path">
<BootstrapperApplicationRef
Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense" />
<Variable Name="SelectedFeatures" bal:Overridable="yes" />
<Variable Name="InstallMsi2" bal:Overridable="yes" Value="1">
<![CDATA[SelectedFeatures~><"FeatureA"]]> //This doesn't work in this
context. I need another way to set this variable equal to 1 if SelectedFeatures
contains "FeatureA".
</Variable>
<Chain>
<MsiPackage SourceFile="MSIs\msi1.msi" Vital="yes"
EnableFeatureSelection="yes" SuppressSignatureVerification="yes" Cache="no">
<MsiProperty Name="ADDLOCAL" Value="[SelectedFeatures]"/>
</MsiPackage>
<MsiPackage SourceFile="MSIs\msi2.msi" Vital="yes"
InstallCondition="InstallMsi2=1" />
<MsiPackage SourceFile="MSIs\msi3.msi" Vital="yes" />
</Chain>
</Bundle>

Well, aside from swapping left for right in the expression (a typical problem

John,
Your answer doesn't make sense to me. Can you check your syntax? I have tried
several ways to make sense out of your response but everything I try does not
build.
Best,
Robert

"FeatureA" ~>< FeatureList
The '~' makes the substring case insensitive.

Subject: [WiX-users] How to base MsiPackage InstallCondition on Substring of
Variable
To Wix-Users,
I have a Burn bundle of Chained MSIs and I want to install one based on whether
or not a variable contains a specific word. I have variable I am setting from
the command line, ie Bundle.exe SelectedFeatures=<features-lis>. How do I set
the InstallCondition attribute on the MsiPackage element to evaluate to true
when <features-list> contains FeatureA?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Robert
