>From memory so this may not be 100% - Windows Installer evaluates properties as true if they are set, and false if they are not. i.e. setting MYFLAG=true on the command line will result in boolean condition tests on MYFLAG returning true, but so will setting MYFLAG=false, as the MYFLAG property will be set to the string false.
So you'll need to use string comparison tests, and you'll probably want to use MYFLAG~="true" which will perform a case-insensitive string comparison, i.e. true for MYFLAG=True or MYFLAG=true, but not for MYFLAG=false.
