Re: [WiX-users] Adding User Interface to Setup Project in Visual Studio
I am trying to use Votive and Visual Studio to build my WiX Steup project, but to be able to add User Interface, I need to add parameters to light. For example: light.exe -out SampleWixUI.msi SampleWixUI.wixobj path\wixui.wixlib -loc path\WixUI_en-us.wxl However, the light settings in project file in VS does not let me add any new parameter. Does anybody know how I can build my setup project with VS? Ashin, I don't think you can add the reference to WixUIExtension.dll from within Votive, so you need to modify the wixproj manually and add an item like this: ItemGroup WixExtension Include=$(WixDir)\bin\WixUIExtension.dll / /ItemGroup I've defined an environment variable called WixDir to make my file portable rather than put in an absolute path, but there might be a better way.

Re: [WiX-users] Adding User Interface to Setup Project in Visual Studio
I'm new to WiX myself and just ran into this one yesterday. I presume you are using VS2005 and WiX 3.0? The instructions at http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix2/WixUI_dialog_library.htm to add a *.wixlib and *.wxl file to the Light command line do not apply to WiX 3.0, nor do they work with the VS IDE. Instead, use the VS solution explorer to add a reference to WixUIExtension.dll, which you'll find in WiX's install directory. Then you do still need to identify the localization culture. On the Linker tab (Light Settings) of the solution's property pane, specify 'en-US' (or whatever) as the Culture.

both I and Cheyne, Mark A - DNR have already replied that you also need to specify Cultures, re-read the post from Mark for detailed instructions.
