[WiX-users] Pass selected Features as parameters to custom action

[Asiri Wanigarathne]

Hi Folks,

I am trying to pass selected features to a executable in custom action for
vaalidation. the following condition doesnt get evaluated TRUE when feature
selected.

*(&Feature_AccessControl=3 OR !Feature_AccessControl=3)*

The SetProperty custom action works fine if I take out the above condition.


here code snippet:

    <Feature Id="MainTree"
             Title="NetSense SNMP Manager"
             ConfigurableDirectory="INSTALLLOCATION"
             Absent="disallow"
             AllowAdvertise="no"
             TypicalDefault="install"
             InstallDefault="local"
             Level="1">

      <Feature Id="Feature_SNMP"
               Title="SNMP Service"

               ConfigurableDirectory="SNMP"
               Level="1"
               AllowAdvertise="no">

        <ComponentRef Id="compSNMP"/>

      </Feature>

      <Feature Id="Feature_Polling"

                  Return="check"
                  HideTarget="yes"

 <!-- the parameter to pass into the executaable -->
