I just meant that the component wouldn't be excluded on maintenance if you
had 'or Installed' regardless of the value of DEPFOUND, but perhaps it
wouldn't work.

It's not my file. I'm modifying a registry entry based on whether I find
a file in the system folder.

Would adding 'Or Installed' to the condition work as well? Wouldn't it
then remove the file if it's there, and leave it if it isn't?

Re: [WiX-users] Maintenance modes SOLVED!
It turns out, the problem was because I was installing a component based
on
the existence of a file on the end users computer, like this.
<Property Id="DEPFOUND">
<DirectorySearch Id="deppath" Path="[SystemFolder]">
<FileSearch Id="depfile" Name="depfile.dll" />
</DirectorySearch>
</Property>
and then later
<Feature Id="SetDEP" Title="Enable DEP" Level="0">
<ComponentRef Id="DepComponent"/>
<Condition Level="1">DEPFOUND</Condition>
</Feature>
Unfortunately, not marking the property secure caused the behavior shown
in
my previous messages.
Thanks to Bob, for this
http://www.joyofsetup.com/2007/05/30/feature-conditions-and-ui/
which led me in the right direction.
I had been using a similar idiom for desktop shortcuts on a tick box, but
they didn't seem to need secure. Perhaps it's because they defaulted to
on
instead of off.
