To make the CheckBox checked, assign a value to its associated property in the Property table.

To select/unselect the related features, add control events AddLocal and Remove to the "Next" button, like:

AddLocal   Feature1   CHECKBOX1

Remove   Feature1   Not CHECKBOX1

Stefan, are you sure CheckBoxes don't require the property to be undefined instead of just using Not, as in CHECKBOX1= {}? Perhaps this is different in newer versions of Installshield, or I am thinking of Installscript.

 

Update: as far as I can see Installshield probably deletes the property automatically now - I remember struggling with this in earlier versions. To clarify, the deal is that the property isn't checked for its value, but whether it is defined at all or undefined (not existing in the MSI session).

 

Not correct:

• (CHECKBOX = 0) OR (CHECKBOX = 1)

Correct:

• CHECKBOX OR (Not CHECKBOX)

The comparison CHECKBOX1= {} should give the same result as Not CHECKBOX1, so you can use the style you prefer. And yes, the value of the property doen't matter, which can be confusing. Thanks for the additional clarification Stein.
