I want to execute a custom action ONLY when a particular Component is Installed.. ie when the component's KEY file dermines that the components files should be installed, run the custom action... and when the components KEY file determines the component does NOT need to be installed then, do NOT run the custom action... how do I accomplish this?
Thanks

($MyComponent=3) AND Not (?MyComponent=3)

Component table key ? Installed state of the component. Feature table key & Action state of the feature. Feature table key ! Installed state of the feature. |
The state values mean:
| CODE |
