At install runtime your BA has access to it as part of the WixBundleProperties
"sub-table" of the BootstrapperApplicationData.xml.
If you need it outside of install-time (the below is subject to change, don't
depend on it):
As an implementation detail: it is contained in that xml file in the embedded
UXPayload container.
As an implementation detail: embedded containers are ZIP files appended to the
end of the EXE. Which ZIP is the UXPayload can be determined by walking the
PE/DOS/WINDOWS binary file headers to find the .wixburn data section, and then
use numbers in there along with numbers in other binary file headers to
determine the start location (with some probable help scanning for the ZIP
magic header cookie) and going from there.
You would probably be better off using dark.exe to extract all attached
payloads, then parse the WixBundleProperties xml file.
