I searched and couldn't find anything on this (not surprised, though.) Is there any way to get at this control without loading a dialog? I was considering using it to access a web page to retrieve properties from a database, but the control would never exist in silent.
(Assuming this isn't possible, I'm searching for alternate secure ways to access a remote database during an install. I either need to be able to construct fancy queries in the install or access a service that can.)

Re: HTML Host with no UI
Hello and welcome to our forums,
As you already assumed this is not possible. The HTML host control can be displayed only during a full UI installation on a dialog.
To achieve what you want you can develop your own custom action and schedule it as a custom action with sequence in the "Install Execution Stage".
All the best,
Daniel
