The key is the /QN switch in the msiexec.exe command line:

msiexec.exe /I "C:\Installer.msi" /QN /L*V "C:\msilog.log"

/I = Run installer sequence
/QN = Run totally silently
/L*V = Verbose logging, log everything

Wrap the msi in an (or call it from an) exe and pass msiexec /qn.

Not specifying the UI section in WiX will leave only the MSIExec's popup progress dialog. To get around that you would still need to execute from the command line.
