Do you mean adding the wxl file or the wixlib/wix extension (dll)? I notice
that this experience is perhaps not the most intuitive. Any suggestions on
how I can make this more obvious or easier to discover in Votive?
Thanks,
Justin

I noticed that field, but adding a culture value to it doesn't appear to do
anything. I tried en-US, en-US;, and even the example en-US;ja-JP listed
below the textbox, and I still got the same errors. Adding the wxs file
directly seems to be the only thing that works.

Maybe that's what it was...that it was TOO easy :-) I usually miss those.

Yes, (at least "semi obvious")
Using votive you select project properties (right-click project ->
properties, select linker tab) specify e.g. "en-US" in the Cultures textbox,
and add a reference to WixUIExtension

Thanks for the reply-I managed to get it to work by adding a copy of the
.wxl to the project, but I can't find anywhere to modify the light command
line in the project. Am I just missing something obvious?
On a semi-related note, is there something special you have to do with
Votive to customize bitmaps from one of the UI libs? I tried creating a
bitmaps directory, below the wxs file, but it seems to be ignored
(regardless of whether the new bitmaps are added to the project or not). Is
it not possible to customize the dialogs when using the WixUIExtension DLL?
I'm planning on creating my own UI lib based off of Mondo, but I'd like to
be able to customize it with different graphics when referenced in different
setups.

When using WiX UI stuff from the WixUIExtension DLL in version 3, you need
to add:
"-ext WixUIExtension -cultures:en-us"
To the light command-line. This should take care of a lot of those
warnings.

I've been going through the tuorial at http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/ and
adapting to some of the v3 changes as I go, and I've run across a problem
with adding UI elements. If I put in the UIRef elements <UIRef Id
="WixUI_Mondo" /> and <UIRef Id=" WixUI_ErrorProgressText " /> I get an
unresolved symbol reference. Makes sense, since there's no reference to the
UI lib. I checked in the target directory for the Votive/WiX MSI from the
website though, and there's no wixlib files in the install directory.
There's a WixUIExtension.dll that I can reference, but this doesn't seem to
have any of the strings defined (LGHT0102 gets raised 552 times). It looks
like I have to link using the WXL file for the language, but none of the WXL
files are installed with the package. Is there no way to build an installer
without downloading the source? Since I'm trying to set up a build process
for Wix editing/installer creation where any developer on the team can
edit/publish installers, I'd rather have everything they need to be
encapsulated in a redstributable (i.e. not a separate source download). Is
there just something that I'm missing with getting Votive to build using a
UI?
Thanks for the help
Chris
