Wix installer notify progress to C# application

Question

What I want exactly to handle, is a WPF application that is able to communicate with an .msi generated with WiX.

• How can I let the WPF application know what the .msi package is doing at every moment, get the progress of the installation, and draw that progress in a WPF progress bar that substitutes the WiX one.

• If this part is possible, is there any way to enable/disable any feature from the WPF application to the .msi package?

I don't need the exact code, only a general idea on if this is possible or not!

Thanks in advance!

Yes, it's possible. There's a sample of how to do it in the wix source tree (WPF external UI handler) If you want to create a WiX Burn Bootstrapper Application in WPF you can checkout this project also:
