Using WiX-Toolset there's the requirement to be able to install a service optionally, but by default it will not be installed.
A dialog was created, which is called after the Lincense Agreement.
In this dialog.wxs there is the following code
<UI>
<?define OutlookSyncTitle="title" ?>
<?define OutlookSyncDescription="description" ?>
<Property Id="OUTLOOKSYNC_CHECKED" Secure="yes"/>
<Dialog Id="OutlookSyncDlg_HK" Width="370" Height="270" Title="$(var.OutlookSyncTitle)">
<Control Id="OutlookSync" Type="CheckBox" X="20" Y="45" Width="330" Height="18"
CheckBoxValue="1" Property="OUTLOOKSYNC_CHECKED" Text="$(var.OutlookSyncDescription)">
</Control>
<Control Id="Back" Type="PushButton" X="180" Y="243" Width="56" Height="17" Text="!(loc.WixUIBack)" />
<Control Id="Next" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="243" Width="56" Height="17" Default="yes" Text="!(loc.WixUINext)" />
<Control Id="Cancel" Type="PushButton" X="304" Y="243" Width="56" Height="17" Cancel="yes" Text="!(loc.WixUICancel)">
<Publish Event="SpawnDialog" Value="CancelDlg">1</Publish>
</Control>
</Dialog>
</UI>
In the product.wxs there is the following feature
<Feature Id="OutlookSync" Title="TestServiceInstaller" Level="0">
<Condition Level="1"><![CDATA[OUTLOOKSYNC_CHECKED = "1"]]></Condition>
<ComponentGroupRef Id="ServiceComponent" />
</Feature>
The service never gets installed. When I set a default value for OUTLOOKSYNC_CHECKED = 1, it will always get installed.
What am I missing?

Im trying to make Control with Dialog that cloes all instalator when i hit PushButton:
<Control Id="Cancel" Type="PushButton" X="304" Y="100" Width="56" Height="17" Default="yes" Text="Exit">
<Publish Event="Finish" Value="Return">1</Publish>
</Control>
When i press it, my installator returns code 2812.
How to write Control on Dialog, that will close Installator without any error?

I assume you don't want a confirmation dialog to avoid an accidental exit. Change your code for that button to:
<Control Id="Cancel" Type="PushButton" X="304" Y="100" Width="56" Height="17" Cancel="yes" Text="Exit">
<Publish Event="EndDialog" Value="Exit">1</Publish>
</Control>
I am working on a installer using WIX Toolset which have a dialog, which takes a few inputs from user and pass them to parent dialog. For POC I did that for Edit Control that worked perfectly.
But when I tried same using RadioButtonGroup It fails with
Unresolved reference to symbol 'Property:_TestRb' in section 'Fragment:'.(LGHT0094)
below is my parent dialog
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi">
<Fragment>
<UI>
<DialogRef Id="spandlg"></DialogRef>
<Property Id="TestProp" Value="Test"></Property>
<Property Id="TestRadio" Value="1"></Property>
<Dialog Id="parent_dlg" Width="370" Height="270" Title="parent.dlg">
<Control Id="Next" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="243" Width="56" Height="17" Default="yes" Text="Next">
<Publish Property="_TestRb" Value="TestRadio" Order="2">1</Publish>
<Publish Property="_TestP" Value="TestProp" Order="1">1</Publish>
<Publish Event="SpawnDialog" Value="spandlg" Order="3">1</Publish>
</Control>
<Control Id="txtBox" Type="Edit" Height="15" Width="321" X="10" Y="16" Property="TestRadio"></Control>
<Control Id="txtBox1" Type="Edit" Height="15" Width="321" X="10" Y="50" Property="TestProp"></Control>

<Publish Event="EndDialog" Value="Exit" Order="2">1</Publish>
</Control>
</Dialog>
</UI>

</Wix>
and this is dialog to be opened as Spawn

I can't get what's wrong with code.
You should define the property somewhere. Something like
<Property Id="_TestRb" />
Maybe you swapped Property and Value attributes?
I was able to solve the Issue after removing,
<Control Id="txtBox" Type="Edit" Height="15" Width="321" X="10" Y="16" Property="TestRadio"></Control>
from parent_dlg dialog.
It looks like, as Edit Control can change value of property TestRadio other then 0 and 1 which are invalid according to ICE34. But Error Message Unresolved reference to symbol 'Property:_TestRb' in section 'Fragment:' was not at all helpful.
After defining Property _TestRb actual error was shown ICE34: 1 is not a valid default value for the property TestRadio. The property is an indirect RadioButtonGroup property of control spandlg.radioButtonGroupBox1 (via property _TestRb). (LGHT0204).
My WixInstaller is installing two different Apps (Editor AND / OR Viewer).
After the Installation the user can check a checkbox for if he wants to launch the application.
By default, the WixShellExecTargetProperty has the value [#ViewerApp]. If the user has installed the Editor, the Property should have the value [#EditorApp]. But it is not assigned.
<CustomAction Id="LaunchApplication" BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="WixShellExec" Impersonate="yes" />
<SetProperty Id="WixShellExecTarget" Value="[#EditorApp]" After="InstallExecute" Sequence="execute"><![CDATA[EditorFeature=3]]></SetProperty>
<Property Id="WixShellExecTarget" Value="[#ViewerApp]" />
Solution:
Here is my solution that works:
define the CustomAction for each apllication / feature that can/should be started.
<CustomAction Id="SetLaunchApplicationEditor" Property="WixShellExecTarget" Value="[#EditorApp]" />
<CustomAction Id="SetLaunchApplicationViewer" Property="WixShellExecTarget" Value="[#ViewerApp]" />
<CustomAction Id="LaunchApplication" BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="WixShellExec" Impersonate="yes" />
on the last page, where the install is finished, define the start
<Control Id="Finish" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="243" Width="56" Height="17" Default="yes" Cancel="yes" Text="[ButtonText_Finish]">
<Publish Event="EndDialog" Value="Return">1</Publish>
<Publish Event="DoAction" Value="SetLaunchApplicationViewer"><![CDATA[&ViewerFeature=3]]></Publish>
<Publish Event="DoAction" Value="SetLaunchApplicationEditor"><![CDATA[&EditorFeature=3]]></Publish>
<Publish Event="DoAction" Value="LaunchApplication">LaunchApp = 1</Publish>
</Control>
!!
If only the Viewer or Editor is installed, then this app is started. If both are installed, the Editor gets started, because it's DoAction is triggered afterwards.
Exit Dialog with the checkbox
<Dialog Id="HtExitDialog" Width="370" Height="270" Title="[ProductName] [Setup]" NoMinimize="yes">
<Control Id="Finish" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="243" Width="56" Height="17" Default="yes" Cancel="yes" Text="[ButtonText_Finish]">

Please note - I don't want to change anything in WixUI_Minimal(if possible).
I am trying to add a custom dialog(UserTypeDlg) after WelcomeEulaDlg in WixUI_Minimal i.e whenever a user clicks on Install button after accepting license. This part works fine
On custom dialog I have provided back button which works just fine and takes me to WelcomeEulaDlg. However, when I again click on Install button it directly start installation with out showing my custom dialog.
Could someone help me to get around this?
My code is -
Custom dialog

According to the wix documentation you still need to change the '' elements of what you want to change, setting the 'Next Event' and 'Back Event' of your dialog and overwriting the events of elements that should come before and after your dialog
Even though Checkbox is not selected, the msi installs all features. I have AddLocal and remove when Next is clicked. Here is the UI code:
<Control Id="SFCheckBox" Type="CheckBox" X="20" Y="80" Width="290" Height="17" Property="SF_FEATURE" CheckBoxValue="0" Integer="yes" Text="iNetSec Smart Finder Sensor Service will be installed." Default="yes" Disabled="yes" />
<Control Id="group_NDCforFEService" Type="CheckBox" X="20" Y="110" Width="290" Height="17" Property="FE_FEATURE" CheckBoxValue="1" Integer="yes" Text="iNetSec Smart Finder FireEye Integration Service will be installed." />
<Control Id="Next" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="243" Width="56" Height="17" Default="yes" Text="&Next">
<Publish Event="DoAction" Value="CostFinalize">1</Publish>
<Publish Event="NewDialog" Value="UserInfoDlg" Order="2">SF_FEATURE</Publish>
<Publish Event="AddLocal" Value="All" Order="3">1</Publish>

</Control>
<Control Id="Description" Type="Text" X="25" Y="23" Width="280" Height="15" Transparent="yes" NoPrefix="yes" Text="iNetSec Smart Finder Features." />
<Control Id="Title" Type="Text" X="15" Y="6" Width="200" Height="15" Transparent="yes" NoPrefix="yes" Text="{\WixUI_Font_Title}iNetSec Smart Finder Features" />
<Control Id="BannerBitmap" Type="Bitmap" X="0" Y="0" Width="370" Height="44" TabSkip="no" Text="!(loc.InstallDirDlgBannerBitmap)" />

<Control Id="BottomLine" Type="Line" X="0" Y="234" Width="370" Height="0" />
</Dialog>
</UI>
The Features in Product is as follows.
I don't know what I am I doing wrong here. Even though I did not select the second checkbox, the "IntegrationFeatures" was installed. When I checked the log file, I see this:
Property(S): ADDLOCAL = IntegrationFeatures,ProductFeature.
Please help.
Thanks,
Ravi
I do not recommend the AddLocal and Remove approach found here for the reasons I listed in the comments which amount to "Install everything and then removing it based on checkbox selection is silly and complicates silent installs".
What you should be doing is adding conditions to your <Feature> nodes like this:
<Feature Id="FeatureA" Level="0">
<Condition Level="1">INSTALLFEATUREA</Condition>
<ComponentGroupRef Id="A_Files" />
</Feature>
