It depends on how your criteria are defined and how zero-touch you want your deployment to be. Each task, including software installation tasks in a task sequence have conditions that you can set on them via the options tab of the task. An easy conditional is to examine the value of a task sequence variable that you previously set. Task sequence variables can be set in a few different ways including directly on a collection (right-click the collectio and chhose Modify Collection Settings, there is a Task Sequence Variables tab) or directly on a specific resource (right-click the resource and choose properties then go to the TS Variables tab). In R2, if you leave the value blank, the Task Sequence will prompt you for the value when it executes. Thus, you can create a collection for each set of applications that you would like to deploy. On the collection set a TS Variable Called InstallAppX and set the value to "True". In your actual TS, set the conditional to check the value of InstallAppX against the value "True". Or, create a single collection, add TS Variables for all of your application sets -- InstallAppX, InstallAppY, etc -- and leae their values blank. Set the conditional on the appropriate tasks and then set the value of the variable at deployment time.
