>From the documentation: The following table shows the feature and component state values used in conditional expressions. These states are not set until MsiSetInstallLevel is called, either directly or by the CostFinalize action.
Since Launch Conditions are normally evaluated before CostFinalize, !FeatureName is going to be empty instead of "3". I'm running into this issue now trying to conditionalize a dialog specific to a feature. -- John Merryweather Cooper Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. (Premier Tech, Inc.)

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] feature install state always stops install under XP SP3 Something is definitely fishy in there. Look at verbose log files for all the different installs. They will show you the state of the Features and from there you should be able to hunt down what is going on.
