Hey Stefan,
On the WixUIPrintEula topic, take a look at the follow link. The main lines
you should look at are 22 and 354 - 383. It actually doesn't look for the
handle on the MSI window. Rather, it reads from the rtf from the control's
text.

I've tried to set "", but seems it won't affect.

I found my installer don't require elevation if "change" or "repair".
Although tt'll require elevation and UAC dialog popup if "install from not

InstallUtil is a DLL that uses the installer classes compiled into your
managed service. So, none of the service deployment information is going to
be in the file generated by dark. You will have to look up the
ServiceInstall element, and enter the same information you have in the self
installer.
Can you search all of your wxs files for configuresql and see if you are
referencing it somewhere? Maybe in a before or after tag? Also, have you
replaced the wixlibs with the new ones from the latest WiX 2.0 build?

MSI does not support passing parameters to custom actions (not even C++ custom
actions). Options here may include using properties or using custom tables.
So, the answer to your question is - yes, you need to have wrapper functions
