@Palbinder - I am looking specifically how to inject custom controls - not
change the order of the UI or modify the dialog layout itself.  Any of the
search results I had found before posting referred to custom layout rather
than custom controls.

After some further research it looks like the SQL Server team has fronted
Windows Installer with a custom .NET-based user interface / bootstrapper. 
Once it collects the necessary parameters it kicks off the Windows Installer
packages in a silent fashion.  I also came across the following
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/aa368041.aspx):

"Windows Installer implements a number of standard controls that package
authors can place onto dialog boxes. However, not all standard Microsoft
Windows controls are available, and custom controls cannot be created for
use with the installer UI."

So, in a nutshell if you want a custom UX you need to build a custom
bootstrapper that does it.
