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.

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>
