I agree - it's a bit bare without the eula.

You might find this useful: http://wixextba.codeplex.com/. Take a look at the
example Bundle7.wxs it is a pretty basic UI and the dialog is designed to be
the same size as the WiX MSI UI.
You might also want to consider writing your UI in burn rather than using the
MSI UI.

Bruce,
That is really close to what I am looking for. The only improvement I can
think of would be to reduce the size and have a short message. And maybe a
background logo like the wix ui can have.

Hi,
I am just starting to Use WIX tool .Gone over basic Wix Documentation.
When does the MSI package for *web application * gets created ? Is it after
running the Heat.exe ?
or Is the MSI package created using Vs 2008 should be used by WIX to install
all over the Servers?
Thanks,

My issue isn't the installer UI but rather the bootstrapper UI (If that makes
sense).
Basically I created an installer with the UI that I want but I also need to
install a few prereqs for the solution. From what I have read the best way
to do this is by using burn and creating a bootstrapper.
Doesn't the Getting Started portion of the WiX Tutorial
(http://wix.tramontana.co.hu/tutorial/getting-started) show how to make a
simple UI-less installer?

The default Id thing was a recent addition. Wix 3.6 maybe.

I assume you mean how do I invoke an XSLT from heat. The "wix specific"

Any good tutorial to use xsl with wix ?
For example, replacing "C:\windows\system32" with [SystemFolder] in a

But they (Id's) seems to be required, so I can't skip them.

Yes that's OK for the reason that you suggest. In fact, if you omit the IDs
from file and component, wix will generate them and are the file name with
any invalid characters substituted.
