It just seems like going from the stock BA to rolling your own custom BA just to either get rid of the UI or add a single text box, radio button, or window/step seems extremely costly in time and effort for what seems like a minor modification.

Subject: RE: [WiX-users] [SPAM] Re: Bootstrapper -- Can it be UI-less? I believe the mantra is don't use installer UI's, use a BA UI. As such, if you need a custom UI then generate a BA to give the look and feel that you want. The reasoning behind having a BA UI is so you can have a single unified installation experience. Having a chain of 5 MSI's all exposing their own UI's would result in a choppy and subpar user experience. That being said, WiX is open source, so anyone is free to contribute enhancements. -----Original Message----- From: Alain Forget [mailto:afor...@cmu.edu] Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2013 11:31 AM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.' Subject: Re: [WiX-users] [SPAM] Re: Bootstrapper -- Can it be UI-less? There seems to be a lot of demand for more control over installer and bootstrapper UIs. Just out of curiosity, is this being worked on for future WiX releases? -----Original Message----- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:r...@robmensching.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2013 12:27 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
