Thanks for the information. I did some testing and did notice a difference between "/passive" in Windows Installer versus Burn in how the UILevel is set. In windows installer, the command "msiexec /uninstall CWTestGACInstaller.msi /passive" will set the UILevel to "3" in the msi. Using the burn command "CWTestGACInstallerSetup.exe /uninstall /passive", the UILevel is "2" in the chained msi.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] UILevel on uninstall using "WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense" bootstrapper I don't think that first assertion is quite correct. What you can tell is that you are being uninstalled with /qb+ or whatever exactly evaluates to UILevel = 3. Apparently ARP launches with something like that instead of /qb- which is essentially what "/passive" translates to (both in the Windows Installer and in Burn). What you've really found is that Burn doesn't support "/qb+" (plus a bunch of the other crazy options that the Windows Installer supports for legacy reasons). <smile/> Anyway, if you want to know whether your MSI is being launched in the context of Burn, I think the easiest way would be to add an MsiProperty element to your MsiPackage element.
