Ok, I implemented it via a C# Custom action. Just a handful of lines... I also thought about extending the PermissionEx element by adding a Condition property. I briefly looked at the WIX source and it doesn't look that hard. Much harder is getting the WIX source to build. Is there any documentation on this? I only need to compile the WixUtil extension, not the whole thing.
@Rob: Do you see this extension as a probably feature for WIX? If I get the build process to work, I could implement the feature and create a pull request from it.
