I have a perfectly working msi with the EmbeddUI implemented from the WiX samples code - SampleEmbeddedUI.cs.
It shows the UI as expected when the MSI is execute on its own.

However if it is included in the bundle the MSI UI is ignored while its DisplayInternalUI is set to true:

<BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.HyperlinkLicense">
  <Payload SourceFile="licence.html" />
  <WixStandardBootstrapperApplication LogoFile="logo.png" 
                                      LicenseUrl="licence.html" 
                                      xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/BalExtension" />
</BootstrapperApplicationRef>

<Chain>
  <PackageGroupRef Id="NetFx40Web" />
  <MsiPackage DisplayInternalUI="yes" SourceFile="bin\Debug\EmbeddedUI.msi" />
</Chain>

However if the MSI is build with the standard (non-embedded) UI it is displayed as expected.

The MsiPackage element doesn't seem to have any attributes to enforce EmbeddeUI displaying. Thus I am not sure if there any work around. My global search only yielded a single 3 year old inconclusive discussion.

I can compose the test-case project if required.

Burn is driving the package with an external, which is incompatible with embedded UIs.

Resolution set to external
Status changed from Untriaged to Resolved
