Subject: [WiX-users] Basic MSI without UI
Hello,
I just started with WIX and I have a question, is there any way I can hide the
little box where Windows Installer says what's happening during the install of
a simple basic msi without a UI?
I tried to suppress the entire UI sequence but the little box is still
displayed.
Then I tried to set the UILEVEL property to 2 but little box is still
displayed. In the log file I can see that the property is actually set to 3
just before the INSTALL.
Then I tried to set the LIMITUI property to 2 but the little box is still there.
Please give some advice.
Thank you,
Andrei
