Product.wxs entries
First to define the custom actions
<!-- uninstall message that we cant remove databases-->
<CustomAction Id="UninstallMessage" Property="UninstallMessage" Value
="Remove=[REMOVE]" Return="check" Execute ="immediate"/>
<CustomAction Id="UninstallMessage.Show" BinaryKey="CustomActionBinary"
DllEntry="UninstallMessage" Execute="deferred" HideTarget="no" Return="check"/>
Now to schedule them in the installexecutesequence
<!--Display the uninstall message box so user is informed we will not
remove the databases-->
<Custom Action ="UninstallMessage"
After="InstallInitialize">REMOVE</Custom>
<Custom Action ="UninstallMessage.Show"
After="UninstallMessage">REMOVE</Custom>
And now the custom action code
[CustomAction]
public static ActionResult UninstallMessage(Session session)
{
if (session == null)
{
logEventsApp.WriteLoggingEvent(string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "{0}
; {1}", Resources.ArgumentNullError, "session"), session);
throw new ArgumentNullException("session",
Resources.ArgumentNullError);
}
// This is just to display a message box that informs the user that
they will have to remove the databases manually
string notificationMessage = Resources.DatabaseNotRemoved;
session.Log(notificationMessage);
Record record = new Record();
record.FormatString = notificationMessage;
session.Message(InstallMessage.Warning, record);
return ActionResult.Success;
}

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] uI on silent uninstall
That might be the detail that makes the difference - messaget types of error
and warning are shown by Session.Message and equivalents, but perhaps not the
ones that resolve to INSTALLMESSAGE_USER.
