Yes In the Custom Managed BA I always need to configure the UI as to set user choices in a variable perhaps attaching a property to the WixVariable such as responsable="true", but the Wix burn could make all the other job:Storing this kind of variables in xml file of configuration and stop installation (or proceed based on a command line parameter).And running the setup passing the configuration file as command line parameter the Burn engine will have to set the proper value for the variables and launch the setup in silent mode (or full UI mode).It will be a sort of configuration for the WixVariables to use in norma full ui mode setup (to have different default user UI configuration) or quiet mode to launch setup of a particular configuration in a bach mode.It will be possible to make this with an extension?
