[wix-users] Setting Checkbox value from command line

As of now, I achieved it like below. Within each feature (I have only 2) in
Product.wxs, I wrote the below condition to handle silent installation.
Inside App feature,
<Condition Level="1"><![CDATA[(INSTALL_APP = "1") AND (UILevel <=
3)]]></Condition>
<Condition Level="0"><![CDATA[(INSTALL_APP = "") AND (UILevel <=
3)]]></Condition>
Inside DB feature,
<Condition Level="1"><![CDATA[(INSTALL_DB = "1") AND (UILevel <=
3)]]></Condition>
<Condition Level="0"><![CDATA[(INSTALL_DB = "") AND (UILevel <=
3)]]></Condition>
This is working fine for me, with the below command for the DB feature.
msiexec /qn /i MyMSI.msi /l*v 1.log INSTALL_APP="" INSTALL_DB="1"
Then I again execute the MSI using the next command to install the App as
below. This is a Change mode.
msiexec /qn /i MyMSI.msi /l*v 1.log INSTALL_APP="1" INSTALL_DB="" (since
DB is already installed, I am passing it as "").
But it doesn't seem to be installing the 2nd feature in the silent install.
Can anyone please help?
