Sorry, only just seen this.
So to clarify, are we saying that setting the bootstrapper to silent mode won't work if it needs to do something like download and install .net? Presumably because it needs it's UI to show a progress bar etc?
I'm assuming then that the template example works in silent mode if you have .net 4 already installed because the bootstrapper doesn't actually need to do anything other pass onto the next part of the chain - the MSI?
Those threads you linked to are quite interesting, but they all seem to suggest that you can't not display the burn UI. If so, what does "bootstrapper.Application = new SilentBootstrapperApplication();" do?
