I actually created a WPF Embedded UI for a client (3 years ago?) and there are 
some interesting "edge cases" that are missed in the implementation both inside 
of the MSI engine and in the specification that create difficulties in making 
this a robust UI for MSI. I did some code to try to alleviate some of those 
issues, but haven't had the time to complete that work and to see what 
workarounds are available vs what simply must be fixed by MSFT.
 
If you can go the Burn route, you will save yourself a lot of headaches for 
many common scenarios.
