I find to set administration privilages for Wix installer you have to set:
<Package InstallerVersion="200" Compressed="yes" InstallScope="perMachine" InstallPrivileges="elevated"/>
in <Product/>. But where/how set that for Bundle, because I cant create <Package/> ?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi">
<Bundle Name="Bootstrapper13" Version="1.0.0.0" Manufacturer="" UpgradeCode="86064926-b150-448f-aba9-fb0c8f4a83b5">
<BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense" />
<Chain>
<!-- TODO: Define the list of chained packages. -->
<!-- <MsiPackage SourceFile="path\to\your.msi" /> -->

</Bundle>
Burn automatically detects when you have a perMachine package; you don't have to tell it.

Wix bootstrapper does not show the manufacturer name in the add/remove programs menu. I am looking to replicate what the following programs have but even though my bootstrapper bundle has it's manufacturer name specified nothing displays at all where there should be a manufacturer/publisher name.

I am tying to include a driver MSI in my package chain, but I am not sure how to reference it.
I have the following code the MSI is in my project folder/Resources/DriverInstaller.msi

Reference the relevant Project "InstallerBootstrapper" in the wixproj file.
For example
<ProjectReference Include="..\InstallerBootstrapper.csproj">
<Name>InstallerBootstrapper</Name>
<Project>{project guid}</Project>
</ProjectReference>

Is there a way to change that redish CD picture in the installer?

Thanks!
Yes, you can use a custom theme. Here is an example from https://github.com/frederiksen/Classic-WiX-Burn-Theme:
Yes, you will want to set the LogoFile. Inside of BootstrapperApplicationRef add
<WixStandardBootstrapperApplication LogoFile="path to your logo.bmp"/>

To clarify Rick Bowerman's answer above, you need to use the extended XML schema in order to use WixStandardBootstrapperApplication and remove/replace the icon. Here is a more elaborate example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi" xmlns:bal="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/BalExtension">
...
<BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.HyperlinkLicense">
<bal:WixStandardBootstrapperApplication LicenseUrl="" LogoFile="blank.png" />
</BootstrapperApplicationRef>
<Chain>
<MsiPackage SourceFile="$(var.Msi_x86)" />
<MsiPackage InstallCondition='VersionNT64' SourceFile="$(var.Msi_x64)" />
</Chain>
...
</Wix>
Note that you have to specify something for the LogoFile attribute. It cannot be empty, and leaving the attribute out will restore the horror.
