Just a nitpicking correction: .wixlib files _are_ still supported. However, extension DLLs can now carry an embedded .wixlib, and this feature has been used for most of the WiX extended features (i.e. anything beyond what Windows Installer itself provides). Therefore, tasks that required you to provide one of the standard .wixlib files in 2.0 now require you to specify the appropriate extension to light.exe.
This doesn't stop you compiling your own .wixlib files if you have common components you want to reuse in many packages. -- Mike Dimmick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff Bean Sent: 03 February 2007 06:45 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WixUI library support for 3.0 The wixlib libraries are dlls now. Here is what I did: candle -out obj\MyInstall.wixobj -ext WixUIExtension MyInstall.wxs light -cultures:en-us -ext WixUIExtension -loc MyInstall.wxl -out MyInstall.msi obj\MyInstall.wixobj where MyInstall.wxs contains (amongst other stuff): <UIRef Id='WixUI_InstallDir' /> <Property Id='WIXUI_INSTALLDIR' Value='TARGETDIR' /> You would change the WixUI_InstallDir to WixUI_Minimal if that is the UI set you want. You also wouldn't need the WIXUI_INSTALLDIR property in that case. MyInstall.wxl contains an override of one of the messages in the user interface: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <WixLocalization Culture="en-us" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/localization";> <String Id="VerifyReadyDlgInstallText" Overridable="yes">{\WixUI_Font_Normal}XXXXXXXX will be installed to [TARGETDIR] Click Install to begin the installation. Click Back to review or change any of your settings. Click Cancel to exit the wizard.</String> </WixLocalization> Ning Lin wrote: > > According to this page, .wixlib is no longer supported: > http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=36313215 > > I am in need of just a minimal UI as provided by the wix ui library from > 2.0. > What is the story here for 3.0?
