Ah, in that case, the only way would be to do a silent install with the msiexec 
command, and there would be no way to complete hide that window in WiX, correct?

Technically that dialog is not part of MSI, its part of OS msiexec.

When I was following the tutorial, I don't remember seeing anything. That said, 
maybe the installation was so brief that it didn't display. In a heavier 
installer, you may be right that some kind of progress bar (maybe with a cancel 
button) displays.

I think there's a single noninteractive dialog that pops up that I suspect you 
can't avoid other than by using /quiet.
