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.
