And that is what we are looking for, simplicity for the admins. Our Chained product contains 5 main product installers and up to 59 language pack installers and therefore we did not want to have the system admin to have to enter so many installer .msi.
So having a single chain .msi to push would be a lot better than having multiple msi's.. Thanks, Tim.

Not really sure what you are meaning by an embedded UI here. GPO publishes MSIs silently to client machines. Also its possible to push several MSIs as part of one policy (we have to document this for our customers so they can install prerequisites) so I don't see an absolute requirement for chaining apart from simplicity.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Looking at WiX to generate a Chained installpackage. That or a embedded UI would need to be implemented in the WiX toolset. Personally, I jumped over that feature and went for the full blown bootstrapper/chainer with Burn... but GPO functionality does suffer a bit. Might be an interesting feature to implement in the future to provide a "stock embedded UI" from WiX toolset.
