I have no story for Advanced, and my attempt about two years ago with Mondo ended in frustration. I'm not developing further custom UI as I am actively developing my own managed bootstrapper application to take its place.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] FW: Correct method for modifying a built-in UI? Would you happen to have an example of what you are doing that you could post? I have previously done this with success, but there is something about the dialogs being published in the Advanced UI that makes then so they cannot be reused? Before I modified both the flow and a few dialogs for the minimal UI. -----Original Message----- From: John Cooper [mailto:jocoo...@jackhenry.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 5, 2014 4:11 PM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] FW: Correct method for modifying a built-in UI? If you're essentially replicating the UI extension, you can use dark to get the bits you need. But I have not found it necessary to do that with my custom UI (I still manage to link to the UI extension). -- John Merryweather Cooper Senior Software Engineer | Enterprise Service Applications | Continuing Development Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® | Lenexa, KS 66214 | Ext: 431050 |jocoo...@jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: Nik T [mailto:nicho...@nikom.net] Sent: Wednesday, November 5, 2014 3:06 PM To: 'General discussion about the WiX toolset.' Subject: Re: [WiX-users] FW: Correct method for modifying a built-in UI? I am currently trying a solution of bringing all the dialogs from the source I need into my wixlib, and not linking against WixUIExtension. Pretty close, but I need to figure out how to get a hold of uica.dll (without having to build the entire wix source tree) that is pulled in from Common_Platform.wxi. Although a bit more intense that I was looking for, this option would work and allow me to reuse much of the built in dialogs. Based on your reply, I am going to go back and double check all of the includes as well. -----Original Message----- From: John Cooper [mailto:jocoo...@jackhenry.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 5, 2014 3:56 PM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] FW: Correct method for modifying a built-in UI? Advanced and Mondo UI's are notorious difficult to modify. They include stuff from all over. You'll need to track down all those includes (and probably modify private copies) to get it to work. The only UI's I've regularly modified are InstallDir and FeatureTree. That being said, the technique you are using is sound (modify the existing code from Wix to make your custom UI). -- John Merryweather Cooper Senior Software Engineer | Enterprise Service Applications | Continuing Development Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® | Lenexa, KS 66214 | Ext: 431050 |jocoo...@jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: Nick Ramirez [mailto:nickra...@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 5, 2014 2:50 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] FW: Correct method for modifying a built-in UI? Not sure. Now that you've moved code into a wixlib, any UIRef elements left hanging around still pointing to the old UI? It's probably something simple that I'm not thinking of. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/FW-Correct-met hod-for-modifying-a-built-in-UI-tp7597759p7597774.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any files transmitted with it are intended exclusively for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
