Alan, Dispatcher.Run() starts a message loop. You should setup any UI you want to display before that, or just call ShowDialog() on your main dialog directly. Not that you will also need to call a few methods on Engine (Detect(), Plan(), Apply()...) to actually get things to install. The WixBA used to install WiX 3.6 is a good place to see a working example.

I got this far, but cannot get Burn to install my packages with my custom bootstrapper application. It appears to get to the Threading.Dispatcher.Run call, but then just sits there (ie I never get the second message box): using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Bootstrapper; using System.Windows.Forms; using Threading = System.Windows.Threading; namespace MyBA { public class TestBA : BootstrapperApplication { static public Threading.Dispatcher Dispatcher { get; private set; } protected override void Run() { this.Engine.Log(LogLevel.Verbose, "Running the TestBA."); TestBA.Dispatcher = Threading.Dispatcher.CurrentDispatcher; MessageBox.Show("My Bootstrapper Application is running"); Threading.Dispatcher.Run(); MessageBox.Show("Dispatcher Run has finished."); this.Engine.Quit(0); } } } Any little bit of help you could provide would be GREATLY appreciated.
