Figured out that embeddedUI is introduced with Windows Installer 4.5, but I need to be compatible with Windows Installer 3.1. So, embeddedUI is not an option for me.
I'm now left with two options. 1. In the bootstrapper exe, I can show a window, get the user credentials, get the token from the service and pass on the token to the msi in a public property. 2. Use an external UI to do the same work. What is the difference between using an external UI(msi related) vs using an external UI in the exe? Are there any advantages of using the MSI external UI? Can someone please point me to any docs talking about the msi external ui? MSDN documentation didn't give me enough info about it... Thanks, Pratap.
