I have tried to do this and I don¹t think it is possible. The problem is that the SQL install extracts to a folder outside the location of it¹s exe (in the root I think) and needs a fully qualified path to the configuration file. Unfortunately burn doesn¹t have a method of getting a fully qualified path to a payload file (I believe there is a feature request outstanding for this).
