Hi Tom, The WixUI_Common is declared in the Common.wxs file. At the start of that fragment the Binary references to the Bitmaps are declared. So it sounds like you are not including Common.wxs, however, I would have thought you would have gotten an error if they weren't included. Hope this helps.

If it's WiX v3.0, then you'll need to define the following WiX variables like so: Value being the path to those binaries. If it's version2, I think you just need to make a Bitmaps folder and put the banner.bmp, dialog.bmp, etc in there. On 1/24/07, Carol Tumey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

This might be just MSI behavior, which is to create that random MSI file name in the temp folder and use that for the install. If you monitor the temp folder I suspect you'd see that random MSI file name there, and I believe it's what gets copied to the cached location in Windows\installer. Phil
