Hi Niel, thanks for the reply. I've tried setting the DisplayInternalUI to yes, but it seems to still try to execute the MSI using basic or min ui, in order for the embedded ui to be initialized the command line arguments for the package need to send a full UI request. At the moment what I can see is than the command line being sent to the MSI package is overriding the CLIENTUILEVEL setting by appending CLIENTUILEVEL=0 at the end of the arguments. Like:
Command Line: ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1 MSIFASTINSTALL=7 CLIENUILEVEL=3 REBOOT=ReallySuppress CURRENTDIRECTORY=.... CLIENTUILEVEL=0 MSICLIENTUSESEXTERNALUI=1 CLIENTPROCESSID=8556 In the above line found in the MSI's log file, I set the CLIENUILEVEL=3 but burn append their MSI arguments to the end of the command line, I bet if burn appended the burn MSI argument at the start of the command line, my custom variable will not get overridden.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Burn CLIENTUILEVEL Hi, What I need to achieve is displaying the Embedded UI in my MSI packages. I know I could just create a custom BA UI and use that, but all my setup projects needs to be able to install and manage the installation of multiple instances. Since there's no way to ask burn to apply a transform to an package I had to create the embedded UI's to achieve this. Please can anyone advise.
