There is no runtime or build time solution to replace installutil.exe. The only options are to extract the registry entries that are created and include them in the project or running installutil.exe at runtime. The best option is to extract the registry either by having InstallUtil create a registry file or use the WIX tools.

We have a number of places in our installers where we have to invoke installutil.exe via a custom action for running the installer components in the assembly. One of the main problems in invoking InstallUtil.exe via a custom action is that it results in the ugly DOS windows appearing in the middle of setup. I do not want to use heat/tallow etc. I am looking for some kind of Wix extension. Is there any good solution available in Wix for this?
