(I don't need to declare InstallUISequence as I'm not choosing a
different welcome dialog based on Patch or not)
To simply use WixUI_Minimal with a different id, you can have your UI
fragment look like this:
<Fragment>
<UI Id="SkyUI_Minimal">
<UIRef Id="WixUI_Minimal" />
</UI>
</Fragment>
If you want to add more dialogs to the UI, you can add DialogRef nodes
to the fragment after the UIRef to WixUI_Minimal.
You only need to copy the entire WixUI_Minimal if you want to remove a
dialog or re-order them or if you're customizing one of the dialogs. To
do this, I think you will need to define your own Welcome (and
WelcomeEula) dialogs (with a different id, and with own Show actions
etc) and possibly the other dialogs too. Note that you could just
copy/paste the existing dialog definitions from the Minimal source into
your UI and change the ids.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Custom UI sequence
Thom, where is the InstallUISequence in you example?
Here is my current code. This is the only UI element in my main product
wxs:
<UIRef Id="SkyUI_Minimal" />
This is the entire body of the SkyUI_Minimal.wxs file that is included
in my project (unchanged from WixUI_Minimal except the name):
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";>
<Fragment>
<UI Id="SkyUI_Minimal">
<TextStyle Id="WixUI_Font_Normal" FaceName="Tahoma" Size="8"
/>
<TextStyle Id="WixUI_Font_Bigger" FaceName="Tahoma"
Size="12" />
<TextStyle Id="WixUI_Font_Title" FaceName="Tahoma" Size="9"
Bold="yes" />
<Property Id="DefaultUIFont" Value="WixUI_Font_Normal" />
<Property Id="WixUI_Mode" Value="Minimal" />
<DialogRef Id="ErrorDlg" />
<DialogRef Id="FatalError" />
<DialogRef Id="FilesInUse" />
<DialogRef Id="MsiRMFilesInUse" />
<DialogRef Id="PrepareDlg" />
<DialogRef Id="ProgressDlg" />
<DialogRef Id="ResumeDlg" />
<DialogRef Id="UserExit" />
<DialogRef Id="WelcomeDlg" />
<DialogRef Id="WelcomeEulaDlg" />
<Publish Dialog="ExitDialog" Control="Finish"
Event="EndDialog" Value="Return" Order="999">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="VerifyReadyDlg" Control="Back"
Event="NewDialog" Value="MaintenanceTypeDlg">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="MaintenanceWelcomeDlg" Control="Next"
Event="NewDialog" Value="MaintenanceTypeDlg">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="MaintenanceTypeDlg" Control="RepairButton"
Event="NewDialog" Value="VerifyReadyDlg">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="MaintenanceTypeDlg" Control="RemoveButton"
Event="NewDialog" Value="VerifyReadyDlg">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="MaintenanceTypeDlg" Control="Back"
Event="NewDialog" Value="MaintenanceWelcomeDlg">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="WelcomeDlg" Control="Next"
Event="NewDialog" Value="VerifyReadyDlg">Installed AND PATCH</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="VerifyReadyDlg" Control="Back"
Event="NewDialog" Value="WelcomeDlg" Order="2">Installed AND
PATCH</Publish>
<InstallUISequence>
<Show Dialog="WelcomeDlg"
Before="WelcomeEulaDlg">Installed AND PATCH</Show>
<Show Dialog="WelcomeEulaDlg" Before="ProgressDlg">NOT
Installed</Show>
</InstallUISequence>
<Property Id="ARPNOMODIFY" Value="1" />
</UI>
<UIRef Id="WixUI_Common" />
</Fragment>
</Wix>
Then I have WixUIExtension included in the "reference" section of my VS
2008 project. Again, this is a C++ console application rather than .Net.
