How to run WIX bootstrap built exe to run in silent mode?

Is it possible to run the exe built using WIX burn bootstrap to run in silent mode? I need to do this in order to skip the UAC prompt. Are there any better ways to skip the UAC prompt using the WIX project itself? Without making any changes to the registry keys manually.

Burn supports silent installations. Use the /quiet switch to run installation without any user interface. This will not show the UAC prompt.

AppInstaller.exe /install /quiet

If your installation requires elevated rights to install properly, run it from another already elevated process - either command line, or a management software.
