This was asked before, here is an answer: In reply to this post by Pierson Lee (Volt) Pierson Lee (Volt) wrote: Is there a property within the Wix I can set conditionally (dependent upon a registry key) whether or not to display a UI?
No. UILevel is set by MSI to indicate how the *user* chose to run your package. As long as you have authored UI, a user can always request it. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ once again my response is: if you want to change the UI level during installation type MSIEXEC at a cmd prompt that will give you a list of cmd line parameters to use to run a MSI i.e.: Display Options /quiet Quiet mode, no user interaction /passive Unattended mode - progress bar only /q[n|b|r|f] Sets user interface level n - No UI b - Basic UI r - Reduced UI f - Full UI (default) /help Help information -----Original Message----- From: Andrei Trif [mailto:trif.and...@mail.com] Sent: August-20-13 4:03 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Basic MSI without UI Hello, Hmm... to run the msi with the /qn switch I need to build a boostrapper with Burn. The result will be an exe file with a different UI. To remove this UI I need to create a custom BA and if I manage to do this succesfully I will have 2 entries in Add/Remove Programs, one for my msi and one for my bootstrapper, and I still have an exe instead of a msi. All this looks a little bit silly considering that the proper value for the UILevel might do the trick. John, can I set the UILevel property using the Property element in the .wxs file?
