[wix-users] How to get rid of the Welcome dialog in WixUI_InstallDir mode.

Fri Feb 26 09:39:12 PST 2016

WixStdBA is C++, so you could use it as a base if you need to customize it.  (And provide pull requests back to Wix if the features are reusable.)

WixStdBA allows for custom theming, which allows you to define a UI, add custom controls tied back to burn variables, etc.

Yeah Thats true .. Custom BA are very steep learning curve.. and I think ( not sure though ) it also needs some knowledge of .NET , WPF  etc ...
I am totally into C++ cant dive in into this stuff at this point. :)

Maybe if there is any option to suppress the BA Wlcm n license UI and do the pre-req checks only directly jumping to MSI UI then I will be glad to know :)

Thanks
