Hi Roman, I sort of have an answer for you. The task doesn't directly
support if conditions like how you want, but it is possible.
If you set the display attribute's value to 0 for a feature, the feature
will not be visible to the user. Also, you can add if conditions to the

The alternative to using the wid and wim files (merge modules) is to hand
code the dialog information by yourself... I perosnally think that is a bit

For an msi, the order should be something like this:

Hey all,
Would someone be willing to add some information to the wiki about how to

time to explore this option, but I think it would definitely help out with
