How to add a UI to a WiX 3 installer?

I've tried <UIRef Id="WixUI_Minimal" />, but I get "Unresolved reference to symbol WixUI:WixUIMinimal". What am I doing wrong?

Solution

  • The wixui extension is no longer wixui.wixlib. It was rolled into the WixUIExtension.

    If you are on the command line, add -ext WixUIExtension to the call to light.exe.

    If you have a WiX project in Visual Studio, add a reference to "WixUIExtension" by right clicking on "References" in the Solution Explorer.

    See the WiXUI Dialog Sets page for WIX3.
