WixStdBA "should" be able to show those messages (in 3.8).
Since I didn't want to change existing behavior, if you get a copy of the
RtfTheme.xml file, and insert
<Text Name="ExecuteProgressActionDataText" X="11" Y="163" Width="-11"
Height="17" FontId="3" DisablePrefix="yes"/>
Into the
<Page Name="Progress">
section, and then include the custom theme in your bundle via
<BootstrapperApplicationRef
Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense">
<bal:WixStandardBootstrapperApplication LicenseFile="License
Agreement.rtf" LogoFile="logo.png" SuppressOptionsUI="yes" ThemeFile="Path to
\RtfTheme.xml" />
You should get what you are looking for.
If you are rolling your own BA in C#, then you could look at the Wix BA:
private void ExecuteMsiMessage(object sender,
ExecuteMsiMessageEventArgs e)
{
lock (this)
{
if (e.MessageType == InstallMessage.ActionStart)
{
this.Message = e.Message;
}
e.Result = this.root.Canceled ? Result.Cancel : Result.Ok;
}
}

bootstrapper?
Burn engine should be sending those via the OnExecuteMsiMessage() callback.
