[wix-users] Setting Checkbox value from command line

[Edwin Castro]

The InstallUISequence (and thus dialogs like the one you shared)  do not
run when installing an MSI silently. Are you expecting the dialog to
perform any kind of work that will ensure AppFeature does not get
installed? If that is the case, then the problem might be that work is not
happening because the InstallUISequence is not running when installing
silently.
