How to condition a custom action to run if a feature is selected for install

[Ken_Alverson]

After much searching on the internet I found someone said this would work
&featurename=3 Or (!featurename=3 And Not &featurename=2 AND NOT REMOVE="ALL" )

I put the following on my condition line, but it does not run. I am using an execute custom action in deferred system context. I don't get any install errors, but the custom action does not appear to run. ID_STRING3 is the string name of my feature - should be specified some other way?

&ID_STRING3=3 Or (!ID_STRING3=3 And Not &ID_STRING3=2 AND NOT REMOVE="ALL" )

How should I be setting up the condition to get a custom executable to run if a feature is selected on install?

Make sure that you use the key name of your feature in the conditional statement, instead of the display name.

Also, check the install log to make sure the Custom Action is indeed not running. Look for:

Doing action: xxxCustomActionName
Skipping action: xxxCustomActionName (condition is false)

Thanks, this worked for me. The action is now being called or not called based on the selection.:)
