Has anyone had success copying WixUI_Advanced.wxs to a
Custom_Advanced.wxs and using it in your msi installer?

I end up with lots of errors like these:

     [exec] 
C:\cygwin\home\build\current\EUROPA\Source\wix_project\Custom_Advanced.wxs(37) 
: error LGHT0091 : Duplicate symbol 'CustomAction:WixSetDefaultPerUserFolder' 
found. This typically means that an Id is duplicated. Check to make sure all 
your identifiers of a given type (File, Component, Feature) are unique.
     [exec] 
E:\delivery\Dev\wix37_public\src\ext\UIExtension\wixlib\WixUI_Advanced.wxs(37) 
: error LGHT0092 : Location of symbol related to previous error.
     [exec] 
E:\delivery\Dev\wix37_public\src\ext\UIExtension\wixlib\WixUI_Advanced.wxs(38) 
: error LGHT0091 : Duplicate symbol 
'CustomAction:WixSetDefaultPerMachineFolder' found. This typically means that 
an Id is duplicated. Check to make sure all your identifiers of a given type 
(File, Component, Feature) are unique.
     [exec] 
C:\cygwin\home\build\current\EUROPA\Source\wix_project\Custom_Advanced.wxs(38) 
: error LGHT0092 : Location of symbol related to previous error.
     [exec] 
C:\cygwin\home\build\current\EUROPA\Source\wix_project\Custom_Advanced.wxs(37) 
: error LGHT0091 : Duplicate symbol 'CustomAction:WixSetDefaultPerUserFolder' 
found. This typically means that an Id is duplicated. Check to make sure all 
your identifiers of a given type (File, Component, Feature) are unique.
     [exec] 
E:\delivery\Dev\wix37_public\src\ext\UIExtension\wixlib\WixUI_Advanced.wxs(37) 
: error LGHT0092 : Location of symbol related to previous error.

I copied WixUI_Advanced.wxs to my project directory as
Custom_Advanced.wxs, and changed 
From:
<         <UI Id="WixUI_Advanced">
To:
>         <UI Id="Custom_Advanced">

And in my Product element I added 
<UIRef Id="Custom_Advanced" />

What Am I missing?  I'm following the Wix 3.6: A Developer's guide to
windows Installer XML.
