Burn's standard BA can be very minimal if you configure it to be. Mine is
simply a dialog with some images/text and install & cancel buttons. Clicking
install will attempt to install .NET 4.0 client profile followed by my MSI(s).
Use something like
<BootstrapperApplicationRef
Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.HyperlinkLicense">
<bal:WixStandardBootstrapperApplication LicenseUrl=""
SuppressOptionsUI="yes" LogoFile="yourlogo.png" />
</BootstrapperApplicationRef>
Since LicenseUrl is empty, it disables all the EULA controls &
SuppressOptionsUI="yes" hides the Options button so all you're left with is the
Install & Cancel buttons.
If you want to modify the dialog further you'll need to edit the
HyperlinkTheme.xml file (download the wix sources, you'll find it in
src\ext\BalExtension\wixstdba\Resources). You can then supply your modified
file using the ThemeFile attribute too.
Make sure you set DisplayInternalUI="yes" on your MsiPackage so it shows the UI
& use the WiXNetFxExtension to install .NET ->

Subject: [WiX-users] Looking for a simple default bootstrapper
Hello,
I arrived at WiX after some years of IS. Currently I explore WiX and learn how
it can be used for our products.
I've come so far that I am a proud creator of a small working MSI.
But now I guess I have "burnt" my fingers at the bootstrapper idea :)
I need a bootstrapper that installs the .NET framework (if missing) and then
launches the "main" MSI. But as far as I can see, all the default bootstrapper
implementations have their own GUI which should replace the MSI's GUI (license
dialog, selecting installation location).
Is there any default bootstrapper _without_ a GUI? Or do I really have to
create my own bootstrapper application for that?!?
I noticed that people become creative to achieve a simple bootstrapper:

<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14431962/alternatives-to-wix-burn-bootstrapper-can-the-install-shield-le-boot-strapper>
I guess I'm not alone...
I hope for your ideas!
