Exe Created By Burn Doesn't Do Anything

I'm testing out Burn and the setup.exe that it creates doesn't seem to do anything when I double-click on it. I took one of the example Burn tests and my manifest looks like:
<BurnManifest xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2008/Burn">
  <Log Level="debug" Mode="append" Path="c:\BurnLog.log" />
  <Stub SourceFile="burnstub.exe" />
  <UX SourceFile="stdux.dll" >
    <Resource SourceFile="C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\wix35-sources\src\burn\stdux\Resources\en-us.wxl" />
    <Resource SourceFile="C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\wix35-sources\src\burn\stdux\Resources\ps-ps.wxl" />
    <Resource SourceFile="thm.xml" />
    <Resource SourceFile="stdux.png" />
    <Resource SourceFile="tou.htm" />
  </UX>
  <Chain>
    <MsiPackage Id='Package0' Vital='yes' SourceFile='MyTestMSI.msi'>
      <Log Level="verbose" Mode="overwrite" Path="%TEMP%\foo\pkg1v.log" />
    </MsiPackage>
  </Chain>
</BurnManifest>

Then I'm just invoking burn with cmd-line args of
-b "C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\wix35-binaries" setup.manifest.xml -out c:\BurnTest\

I was expected a UI to show up but nothing happened. Thoughts??

Something is wrong. <smile/>

Sorry, the debuggability of Burn is still very painful. It hasn't been the
focus yet. If you have a tool like debugmon.exe from the Windows Resource
Kit, you'll see tons of output from a debug build of Burn. You can also
attach to the process and the spew will be in the the "Output" window while
debugging.

This, and a couple other things, are why Burn is just not quite ready for
general use yet.
