I know that I can parse the command line parameters in Burn Managed UI and doing all that I want, I was thinking about if is there yet some feature implemented in Wix burn for this purpose.We used this feature in InstallShield, it is very usefull, as we have an installer with many user choises so if we want to run silent install (to install prefixed configurations very quickly), for installing with a batch file in customers pc for example, all that we have to do is running one time the installer with the -r command parameters, make user interaction for creating the configuration file, and then use this generated file for launching the silent installations.
