I have overridden the default UI by doing the following in my WXS:
<Fragment>
<UI Id="MGALFAUI">

<Fragment>

</UI>
</Fragment>
Now, I would like to override the images used as the bitmaps in the UI.
I've tried everything I can, but I can't seem to get the MSI to contain
the proper bitmaps. I also don't get any warnings that it can't use the
bitmaps I'm asking it to, which is getting pretty infuriating, since it
takes several minutes to build my MSI each time I think I've figured out a
change that should make it work! :)
I build my MSI using an MSBuild project and I've tried adding:
<Candle
SourceFiles="$(FilesPath)mgalfa.wxs"
Extensions="$(NetFxExtension);$(UiExtension);$(FastCompareExtension)"
FilesVitalByDefault="True"
ToolPath="$(WixToolPath)"
RunAsSeparateProcess="$(RunWixToolsOutOfProc)"
OutputFile="$(BuildCountryPath)mgalfa.wixobj"
DefineConstants="$(BuildDefineConstants);WixUIBannerBmp=Setup\bannrbmp.bmp;WixUIDialogBmp=Setup\dlgbmp.bmp;WixUILicenseRtf=Setup\License.rtf"
/>
the constants to the "Candle" step, which doesn't seem to do it,
I've tried adding WixVariable elements in my wxs (the preferred approach
in my situation) and that doesn't seem to work.
I've tried several locations for the WixVariable elements, and none of
them seem to work.
Can anybody at least point me at a way of debugging what's actually going
on here so I know what to do to fix this?
BTW, my files are structured as follows:
6.7\
Setup\
bannrbmp.bmp
dlgbmp.bmp
License.rtf
6.7.011\
Content\...
...
mgalfa.wxs
and I run MSBuild from the 6.7 folder on the wxs file in the child
(6.7.011). This means the relative path for the wxs is
6.7.011\Content\... for all my files, except the bmps, which should be
Setup\...
Thanks,
Kelly
