Hello Bob and thanks for the fast reply,
According to you're second reply, I've created a new directory which includes
two files named WixUIBannerBmp.bmp and WixUIDialogBmp.bmp. I've used " light
-ext WixUIExtension -cultures:en-US -sice:ICE64 -bD:\Wix\Wix_3.0.2330.0\Bitmaps
SampleWixUI.wixobj" for linking and the msi still uses the old fashion bmp
files. What's wrong?
TIA

1. When linking SampleWixUI.wxs using Wix version 3.0.2330.0, I should use
"light -ext WixUIExtension -cultures:en-US
-sice:ICE64 SampleWixUI.wixobj". What does the flag –sice refers to? I
see that the project can be linked without this flag as well?!
The -sice switch suppresses validation of a particular check. ICE64 has nothing
specifically to do with UI? Where did you see that you're supposed to use it?
1. Where and under which name should I store the alternative bmp files I
would like to use for the dialogs in UI sequence? Wix tutorial lesson 2 offers
place and names which does not exists.
The tutorial is using WiX v2. For WiX v3, WiX variables replace the hard-coded
file names. Here's an excerpt from a doc update that should appear in the next
weekly release:
Specifying a license file
WixUIExtension.dll includes a default, placeholder license agreement. To
specify your product's license, override the default by specifying a WiX
variable named WixUILicenseRtf with the value of an RTF file that contains your
license text. You can define the variable in your WiX authoring:
<WixVariable Id="WixUILicenseRtf" Value="bobpl.rtf" />
or at the light command line:
light -ext WixUIExtension -cultures:en-us -dWixUILicenseRtf=bobpl.rtf
Product.wixobj -out Product.msi
The file you specify must be in a directory light is looking in for files. Use
the -b switch to add directories.
Replacing the stock bitmaps
The WixUI dialog library includes stock bitmaps for the background of the
welcome and installation-complete dialogs and the top banner of the other
dialogs. You can replace those graphics with your own for product-branding
purposes. To replace stock bitmaps, specify WiX variable values with the file
names of your bitmaps, as when replacing the default license text.
