Assuming you have .NET 3.0+ (Vista+) and Windows Installer 4.5 (Vista SP1+)
it's possible to use WiX DTF to create a managed embedded UI handler to do
just this. There is a sample of such a beast in the WiX source tree at
$/src/DTF/Samples/EmbeddedUI. If you have target machines that don't have
this then you need a bootstrapper to install .NET and MSI updates and you
might as well just go back to burn at that point.
I always thought this would be a really cool project but then people
started moving towards managed bootstrapper applications via Burn and Suite
installers instead. My installers at my day job are all installed silently
so I just carry on with Native MSI UI for the time being.

Subject: [WiX-users] Using WPF for standard MSI dialogs
All,
Is there any way to use WPF/C# to make the GUI for standard msi
dialogs? I know I can do a Bootstrapper to do this, but, I was hoping to
avoid that overhead and just deliver an .msi with GUI designed with WPF.
Thanks in advance,
Brian
