Silent install and configure within Bootstrap MSI

[Todd Stecher]

I have a Wix bootstrapper which installs the MySQL Installer.

Next step is an unattended setup + config using mysqlinstallerconsole.exe within a (deferred / elevated) CustomAction. I'm using this command inside of my CustomAction:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Installer>MySQLInstallerConsole.exe --config=mysql-server-5.6-winx64:passwd=root --product=* --catalog=mysql-5.6-winx64 --action=install --type=full --nowait

The command runs fine, but there is no net effect - it doesn't fail, but nothing gets installed. If I perform the same action from a command line, it gives the same stdout, works fine / everything gets installed / etc.

Is there a way to get better logging? Any suggestions on what alternatives exist (I'm working on a backup plan of mysqld --default-file + an installed my.ini), but I think this *should* work using MySqlInstallerConsole.
