Launch package in Suite project based on value of a property

Hi Can I check how can we launch a package in Suite project conditionally?

My Suite project has an option to install new MS SQL Express to the machine or to use an existing database server. I created a custom dialog which allows users to choose to install MS SQL or not, and then I saved their choice in a property. However, I do not know how to use this property to determine whether the Suite should launch the MS SQL package.

Is there a different solution for my problem?

I think I should add an Eligibility Condition, but I am stuck at how to check an installer property in the condition.

I think it would be better to set this up as a feature which can be selected or unselected. You can use a check box with Property set to FEATURE[feature-name-here].actionState==install (or a button which sets this property value) to control the feature this outside of the feature selection tree, or just use the feature selection tree itself.
