[wix-users] Applying a condition in Component

[Fyodor Koryazhkin]

HI,
If you mark component as Transitive then on re-installation it will be
uninstalled if a condition evaluates to false and reinstalled if the
condition evaluates to true.
Instead use the component attribute msidbComponentAttributesNeverOverwrite
(128).
