[wix-users] Associate Feature to Checkbox

I am experiencing the same exact behavior right now.

Having an extra single line
<Publish Dialog="MyDlg" Control="Next" Event="AddLocal"
Value="ALL">1</Publish>
above
<Publish Dialog=" MyDlg " Control="Next" Event="NewDialog"
Value="InstallLocationDlg"/>

Makes the installer do nothing.
Meaning MyDlg would not move on to the next Dlg which is InstallLocationDlg.

Looking at the msiexec /l*v log does not indicate anything special.
I would really like to AddLocal all and remove some features but this is
preventing me to do so.
