Hi everyone, Presently, I'm working with a Managed Bootstrapper with its own UI written in WinForms (.Net 2.0 based). It is able to install my msi using DisplayInternalUI="yes" and "no" very well. However, from Add-Remove programs, it display nothing, but uninstall silently.

If you don't believe it.. Try it out. We hit this all the time if we aren't careful to make sure that we wait for services to stop on uninstall. Even if we ask the service to stop, if we make it asynchronous the delete can happen while the service is still shutting down, so files are in use.

Burn shows no UI (except in very, very targeted error cases and even those are controlled by the BA or Bundle authoring). The BA is in control of UI. There doesn't have to be a UI. For example, the TestBA in the WiX toolset shows no UI... because it's used for the integration tests and showing U

The other thing to watch for - based on the file name, it looks like you're trying to run an installer. If that is MSI-based, you can't do that. And I'd be a little concerned about your requirement to run in the foreground. What happens if the installation is run as silent (no UI)? Dave On 1/2
