Wix burn skip package in chain

Question

Is there a way to skip one of package in chain? I have looked at "InstallCondition" and have code like this.

                      <ExePackage Id="RoboMongo"
                        DisplayName="RoboMongo"
                        Cache="no"
                        Compressed="no"
                        PerMachine="yes"
                        Permanent="no"
                        Vital="no"
                        Name="redist\Robomongo-0.8.4-RC2-i386.exe"
                        DownloadUrl="$(var.RoboMongoUrl)"
                        InstallCondition="ComponentSelect_5"
                        InstallCommand='/Action=Install'
                        UninstallCommand="/Action=Uninstall"
                        RepairCommand ="/Action=Repair"
                        DetectCondition="RoboMongoInstalled">

            <RemotePayload Description="Программа администрирования MongoDB"
            Version ="0.8.4.2"
                ProductName="RoboMongo"
                Hash="71C17E48BC32304FA8724FFA7CA1C4C08891BC97" Size="7141182" />

But i don't want to uninstall it on InstallCondition=false. I just want to skip it.

Thank you in advance.

If you are using managed bootstrapper application, required behavior can be achieved by handling PlanPackageBegin event. Code would look approximately like this:

    public MainViewModel(BootstrapperApplication bootstrapper)
    {
        bootstrapper.PlanPackageBegin += (sender, args) =>
        {
            if (bootstrapper.Engine.StringVariables["ShouldSkipPackage"] == "1")
                if (args.PackageId == "RoboMongo")
                    args.State = RequestState.None;
        };
    }
