Hi Bob.
I am at a lost here.....
This is what I am trying.... I need to change the UI of the WIXUI_ADvance
sequence.
In particular the issue I have is that I am adding a launch to the release
notes after the package instalation, I followed the WIX help files to do this,
and it worked great, but the problem I am having is the one in the attached
picture. Basically the position of teh check box and the color.
Trying to make some sense of what you state below, I know I have to modify the
UserExit dialog of the Advance UI. So I did this:
Copy from the sources the WixUI_Advanced.wxs and renamed it to
MyWixUI_Advanced.wxs
I replaced:
<UI Id="WixUI_Advanced"> by
<UI Id="MyWixUI_Advanced">
In my product.wxs file I also changed the UIref to <UIRef Id="MyWixUI_Advanced"
/>
Before I even try to do anythign else, I wanted to kow if this works just out
of the box, with no changes. Notice I think this is what you mentioned below to
do, but instead to copu and paste the whole UI_Advance code unde fragment, I
prefer to put it in a file.
When I build with the below lines, I get a buchn of errors, that seems to refer
to the original WIXUI_Advance.
What I am missing?
