Hi, I'm sure I'm not the first one to have this issue, but search didn't help me much. I have a custom SetupType dialog and I have added a checkbox (CheckBox1) there. Checkbox property is INSTALLCLIENT (deleted default value from Property Manager), checkbox value is 1. Now, as I understand, when the box is checked, the value should be 1, when it's not, the value should be NULL. I need to create a condition for feature to install only if the checkbox is checked. So I've tried different conditions without any success. I set InstallLevel of feature to 250 if the following condition is met. As a condition I've tried INSTALLCLIENT <> 1 INSTALLCLIENT <> "1" INSTALLCLIENT NOT (NOT INSTALLCLIENT) None of those worked. Can you please advise me what to do?
Thank you for your answer. As I understand, this function gets the state of the specified feature. What I need is a correct condition to install/skip feature.
Feature Conditions are evaluated during costing, which takes place before dialogs are shown, so this cannot work. An alternate aproach would be to use events on your next button which either AddLocal YourFeature, or Remove YourFeature depending on the condition as you describe. Which should probably be INSTALLCLIENT or Not INSTALLCLIENT respectively.
