I don't believe the WiX 3.5 install says what is being installed on the
licence page in the same way the welcome page does.

The problem I have is that 90% of the installs I write don't need and
licence page (they are internal apps) - personally I think the licence
should be optional but I guess it is too late to do this for 3.5. I
can't see how to stop this next page function - can it be made optional?

In my opinion I think this is really confusing and a retrograde step but
would be interested to see what others think.

The license page should also tell you what is being installed. If not,
it should.
