What are you trying to do in change mode? Detect whenever the user adds
Feature_XYZ? Or detect anytime it is either added or stays?

It's hard to write conditions when you don't know the scenario.

Subject: [WiX-users] How to write conditions for 'Change' mode

Hi all,

We have a customaction:
          <Custom Action="DoDllRegistration" Before="InstallFinalize" >(Not 
Installed) AND (&amp;Feature_XYZ = 3)</Custom>

This works in initial install, but not in 'Change' mode. 

>From 
here(http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/InstallMo
de-Conditions-DON-T-work-td707286.html
 ), I learnt that "there is no such standard property", and "See "Examples
of 
Conditional Statement Syntax" for how you should do it. "

So I googled and found 
this: http://wix.mindcapers.com/wiki/Conditional_Inner_Text.
 <!-- Run on initial install, repair and minor upgrade --> <Condition 
Message='Blah'>COMPANYDIR AND NOT REMOVE ~= "ALL"</Condition>
Even if it doesn't say 'Change' mode, I still gave it a try. This statement 
seems working in 'Change' mode:
          <Custom Action="DoDllRegistration" Before="InstallFinalize" >(NOT 
REMOVE ~= "ALL") AND (&amp;Feature_XYZ = 3)</Custom>


So the question is, is this the right thing to do? Is there any potential
risk 
that could blow our current stuff?
How to write the correct condition for initial install and 'Change' mode?

Thanks!
