[wix-users] Managed BA with custom UI

Is the BA really targeting .NET 3.0?  That's unusual, I would expect it's
actually targeting .NET 3.5.  In which case you would modify the
BootstrapperCore.config to change the supportedFramework from 3.0 to 3.5.

By the way, you can't assume .NET v3 is installed on Vista or later.  Win8
and later only have .NET 4.x installed by default, .NET v3 is a feature
that has to be installed.
