Ok, done that and it sort-of-works (or not). The problem right now is that the uninstall custom action is not called because 'the condition is false'. At least that's what the log file says. So my current workaround is to call the uninstall ca unconditionally and the install ca during install (this one _is_ called), un-doing the effect of the first ca. This will, of course, horribly break if the user is modifying the installation. Do you (or anybody else for that matter) where (i.e. in what sequence) and when (i.e. what sequence number or after which standard item) the uninstall ca should be called such that !Feature and &Feature contain 'proper' values?
