Hi, At this time Burn runs all the MSI's on the server side so there's no MSI UI shown. As Burn is under active development, Burn may get this feature in the future (I'm not one of the developers, just mentioning what Rob said a while ago).
For custom UI in Burn, you'll have to develop your own Bootstrapper Application (BA). The WiX installer source code in .\src\Setup\UX for the code to the WiX custom BA and between that and the native one in .\src\burn\stdux you can get a very good idea on how to build a BA. That's what I used to build a quick prototype and my full BA that asks a ton of custom questions with complete validations. Thank goodness for open source code!!

Hi Albert, Thanks for the code snippet. In my case, I'm trying to bundle couple prereqs and then the actual installer which takes inputs from user at the install time like server ip etc. When I use MSIExec option, Wix is not presenting a UI instead tried to install the package quietly (it does present the UI for prereqs like .net 3.5 though). I've not specified /q. Do you know what is the way to enforce Wix to present UI for the Msi?
