Some people have suggested running an async CA prior to the dialog chain and then using an RPC mechanism to pass messages to it for logging and instructing it to shut down. Seems like overkill to me to get around an MSI limitation but if it's really important to you, it can be done. Of course there is always just dump MSI UI and use an external UI handler.
