WiX 4组件Condition失效求助：RegistrySearch条件不生效

问题描述

我想给组件配置安装条件：当特定注册表项/值存在时才安装该组件，否则不安装。RegistrySearch功能正常，能正确获取到注册表值，但Component的Condition属性完全没效果，查看安装日志也找不到任何和这个条件相关的记录。

问题分析与解决建议

从日志和代码来看，RegistrySearch已经正确获取到注册表值，但Component的Condition未生效，核心问题可能出在属性传递或条件评估时机上：

确保属性在安装全程可用：UI阶段获取的属性如果未标记为Secure="yes"，进入服务器执行阶段时可能丢失，导致Condition评估出错。修改Property定义：
```
<Property Id="MASTERKEYPROPERTY" Secure="yes">
    <RegistrySearch Id="MasterKeySearch" Root="HKLM" Name="pc" Type="raw" Key="SOFTWARE\TODOManufacturer\WpfAppPackage"/>
</Property>
```

简化Condition语法：XML中转义双引号容易出错，改用单引号包裹Condition字符串，避免转义问题：

<Component Guid="e0f20e79-858d-4ee5-a5c0-53595283a7f0" Condition='MASTERKEYPROPERTY="_571E721F-2F6C-4604-9898-1FD2B5FE9BF6"'>

改用Feature级别条件控制：组件级Condition评估优先级较低，尝试将条件放到Feature上，通过控制安装级别决定组件是否安装：
```
<Feature Id="Main" Level="0">
    <Condition Level="1">MASTERKEYPROPERTY="_571E721F-2F6C-4604-9898-1FD2B5FE9BF6"</Condition>
    <ComponentGroupRef Id="ExampleComponents" />
</Feature>
```
（Level=0表示默认不安装，满足条件时Level设为1，触发安装）
查看详细日志定位问题：用msiexec /i 你的安装包.msi /l*v detailed.log生成详细日志，搜索Condition关键字，可查看条件评估的具体过程，明确未生效原因。
