How to add a UI to a WIX3 installer

Question

I've tried <UIRef Id="WixUI_Minimal" /> but I get "Unresolved reference to symbol WixUI:WixUIMinimal". What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

The wixui extension is no longer wixui.wixlib. It was rolled into the WixUIExtension.

If you are on the command line, add -ext WixUIExtension to the call to light.exe.

If you have a WIX project in visual studio, add a reference to "WixUIExtension" by right clicking on "References" in the Solution Explorer.

See the WiXUI Dialog Sets page for WIX3
