What I want to do is creating a wrapper to display a dialog and then extract some files to disk. Kind of like a self extracting zip file. I don't want to make it a setup program where the user/admin needs to remove it. Wouldn't removing these actions prevent the product from been registered as well as caching of the msi in the system therefore works the same as a self extracting zip file?

You can suppress a standard action in WiX by using e.g. PublishFeatures/@Suppress=yes.
Im guessing youre trying to prevent the end-user from uninstalling your package. Dont do this. Its the users machine, not yours. If, as a network administrator, you want to stop your users uninstalling software, its simple: make them a standard user.
If you really want to hide the component from Add/Remove Programs, set the ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT property to 1. Again, its the users computer, not yours.

How do you define the InstallExecuteSequence table in WIX so that the standard actions PublishFeatures, PublishProduct, RegisterProduct and RegisterUsers won't show up? thx!
