Wix Installer Conditional UI for Command-Line

Question

I want to create a Wix Installer with a UI, that can also be installed from command line for automated deployment testing, whilst also being the same installer that is used in the field.

Is there a way to enforce a conditional UI? ie: not show the UI if a command is entered? I could add conditions to the dialogs to not require interaction if certain properties are configured etc, but there must be an easier way? Hope someone can help with this! Chris
