I am trying to pass the value of a check box on a Wizard page to a parcel in a suite project. I ran across this article:

https://community.revenera.com/s/article/passing-a-suite-property-to-command-line-of-package

Though I tried this approach, it didn't seem to work. The suite log says:

MSI parcel command line: /v"IS_INSTALL_POLICY_FILES=\"[CHECKBOX_POLICY_FILES]\""

And the parcel sees its command line as:

/v"IS_INSTALL_POLICY_FILES=\"\""

At first glance, since the check box was not checked, it appears correct. From the Suite debug log I see:

Engine: property 'CHECKBOX_POLICY_FILES' value now ''

The Parcel has a install level condition on a feature:

Level:1 Condition: IS_INSTALL_POLICY_FILES="1" OR REMOVE="ALL"

InstallLevel for the feature is 101. InstallLevel for the project is 100.

I expect that the feature condition is false and the install level will not be changed. However the components under that feature are installed.

Just to be safe, I also added the property IS_INSTALL_POLICY_FILES to the SecureCustomProperties.

In all my testing, the state of the check box in the suite UI does nothing to disable or enable the feature in the parcel. I can't even find where or if the condition is being evaluated in the log. Any thoughts?
