I'd be interested to hear how other do this too. I've been investigating
this a bit, and I believe that certain installers, such as MS Expression
and MS Office, I think, use WiX to generate MSI's and then hook it
together with their own UI. I think Expression's installation UI is
written in WPF.
For 1), use these functions to query the Feature table in the MSI:
MsiOpenDatabase()
MsiDatabaseOpenView()
MsiViewFetch()
Close handles as appropriate with MsiCloseHandle().
There are functions in the wix SDK to make this kind of thing a little
easier. Bob mentions them here
