Well, you need a UIRef element for the UI you're trying to link it, to start with. There are some properties you'll probably want to set up too. Take a look at the "Using Built-In WixUI Dialog Sets" under "Modifying the Installation User Interface" in the help. -- John M. Cooper

I downloaded 3.5 and am using it integrated with VS 2010. I have my first installer working. It just installs two files. I'd like to add a splash screen which can prompt the user to continue/cancel. I've tried following the tutorial, but I can't even seem to get the example using "ConfigurableDirectory" working. Here is my simple wxs file. When I run the msi it simply installs without prompting me for a directory. I actually don't want to let the user pick the directory, I'm looking for a simple splash screen, but I couldn't figure out how to get that working. I've added WixUIExtention as a Reference in the project as well, but still no prompt for a directory.
