Originally, my users (web server admins) wanted to be able to specify existing web sites during installation, so I made custom (Internal UI) dialogs and some custom actions that communicate with the Server Manager. Now, some of the admins want the installer to create new application pools and web sites instead of using existing ones. My first thought was to employ mux conditions on my PushButton?s published NewDialog events, but those do not work. Using the Internal UI, is there a way to have the workflow progress to different dialogs based on the value of a ComboBox property? If not, what alternatives would be my best options for a dynamic dialog workflow?

I'm not sure I follow. Hopefully I'm following the component rules as all resources used more than once are only installed via one MSI in the GAC - lets call it SharedComponents.msi. In my (simplified) chain, I have -ProductA.msi -ProductB.msi -ProductC.msi -SharedComponents.msi. SharedComponents.msi gets installed when either product A,B or C are installed. If I schedule a major upgrade late (schedule RemoveExistingProducts after InstallFinalize) and define the MsiPackage in the chain with a DownloadURL, will this effectively a) Skip downloading the SharedComponents.msi as it will already be in the cache b) run but ultimately leave the resources untouched as it would (usually) have no updates and no removals due to being the same MSI ?

Whether files or registry entries get copied or created is subject to
component and feature state conditions. Whether custom actions get
called or not is another set of conditions on each custom action.
If you can treat a merge module as a self-contained unit ("object
oriented") then the custom action conditions in the merge module should
always work properly - for example if they have conditions based on
whether their components are being installed/uninstalled etc.
