For #2 you also have to add a reference to WiXUiExtension.dll. Since you are using Visual Studio integration right click on the References node in Solution Explorer and select Add Reference. Then find WixUiExtension.dll in the list and click add. Close the dialog and build and things should work.
Additional information on using WiXUi is available in the help file that ships with WiX. Look under Advanced WiX Topics > WiXUI Dialog Library. WixWiki also has some good information at http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=UiExtension.

I've run into some problems getting started. I'm hoping that I can get some assistance. 1) The text of error messages are not being displayed in VS 2005. When the build fails, I have to build from a command line to actually read the build error. This is a known bug that I read about in other messages in the list archive, but it is extremely frustrating for someone trying to get started with WiX. 2) I'd like to have a UI in my installer. To get started, I was going to use the WixUI. Following the samples for WiX 2, I included the following: <UIRef Id="WixUI_InstallDir" /> Light outputs: Product.wxs(45) : error LGHT0094 : Unresolved reference to symbol 'WixUI:WixUI_InstallDir' in section 'Product:{6D829382-8D41-43C9-AC80-7B98DA1BBD72}'. How do I reference WixUI? Or has it been removed? I suppose I could build my own dialogs in an RC file and then use Tallow to create WiX dialogs. Which brings me to #3. 3) Is Tallow still a part of WiX 3? The executable is not anywhere in the installation. Are its features now included somewhere else? -Jamey ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
