I had a similar situation and this is how I was able to resolve.
Our products requires SQL 2008 and I used wix installer and with Bootstrapper
to install SQL 2008 and after installing SQL 2008 we install our product after
the products gets installed before the finish dialog, I execute a custom Action
to run my Configuration Utility which creates database and configures the
system, once it's done it will close automatically and the installer will
proceed to Finish dialog.
(still pending is I have add restart radio button to Finish).
Hope this helps.

Subject: [WiX-users] When to use a bootstrapper
Hello guys,
I would like to launch a Configuration Wizard of my application after the
installation process. This Wizard would be responsible of setting the SQL
Server, user and password informations, writing to registry and running a
service. So, it needs elevated privileges. But, if I understand correctly, I
can't run the CA that launches the Wizard with elevated privileges if it's
not during the InstallExecuteSequence process.
What would be the right way to do this? I was thinking of using a
bootstrapper that launches the whole msi with elevated privileges (using a
manifest file), hopefully with this I wouldn't have problem when launching
my Configuration Wizard. Or is there a better and safer way to do this? I
don't know how it's done by Microsoft products, like Sharepoint installer, I
think this would be a good example, since it also launches a Wizard after
the installation that configures the SQL Server.
Thanks.
