Would it be possible to add a WiX Burn variable that would indicate whether or not the bundle is being installed in silent (quiet) mode? I need to pass that information to my MSI package as a property.

I have a custom action that displays a non-installer dialog box at the very end of the install. This allows the user to configure the product right before the reboot.

I am using the WiX standard bootstrapper application. I don't want to display the normal UI from the MSI package, but only display this one non-installer dialog box. However, I don't want to display it if the bundle is running in silent mode.

I cannot simply interrogate the UILevel property since that will always say INSTALLUILEVEL_NONE since Burn is suppressing the MSI package UI.
