Thanks ! Yes, it's using the standard bootstrapper. In the meantime I hunted through the source and found MsiEngineCalculateInstallLevel, MsiEnginePlanAddPackage and WiuInitializeExternalUI.. wondering if there is a good way to intercept the UI level in a custom BA. Maybe using IBootstrapperEngine somehow ? I think we would only need to do this for the uninstall case.
Which BootstrapperApplication are you using? If you're using wixstdba, I expect it does not handle this scenario well. You'd want to create a BA that is designed to show the MSI UI instead of it's own UI.
