Condition
In Wise for Windows Installer, how do you block features from installing if a certain file is detected on the system?
I do not want to prevent the entire package from installing - just a few features...

If you create the package your self then use the "Add Condition" (Wise Package Studio).
If it's a vendor package, then just use "system search" and change the feature Level to INSTALLLEVEL+1 if not wanted

When is the condition evaluated? Which sequence entry should I look for - I think condition evaluation has been stripped out from the sequence tables of the package I'm working on...

Hi revizor,
i don't think so. It's not working directly with a condition. Instead you have play around with the Installlevels.
Please read it here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/msi/setup/installlevel.asp
Hope this points you in the right direction.

CA vbscript
Const msiInstallStateAbsent = 2
Dim Feature : Feature = "MyFeature"
Session.FeatureRequestState(Feature) = msiInstallStateAbsent
Add the CA directly before the MigrateFeatureStates action
If there are sub feature under MyFeature they will also get absent

Nice one AngelD.
Yet another, maybe more generic way would be, to use the Condition table. See:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/msi/setup/condition_table.asp
and:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/msi/setup/feature_table.asp
