Re: [WiX-users] Questions about WiX V3
Yes, #1 is a really annoying problem that IIRC is a problem in the VS systems
below Votive. That's why the bug still exists... the fix is non-trivial.

Subject: [WiX-users] Questions about WiX V3
I installed the latest beta of WiX 3 because I want to use the Visual Studio
integration. I've run into some problems getting started. I'm hoping that
I can get some assistance.
1) The text of error messages are not being displayed in VS 2005. When the
build fails, I have to build from a command line to actually read the build
error. This is a known bug that I read about in other messages in the list
archive, but it is extremely frustrating for someone trying to get started
with WiX.
2) I'd like to have a UI in my installer. To get started, I was going to
use the WixUI. Following the samples for WiX 2, I included the following:
UIRef Id=WixUI_InstallDir /
Light outputs:
Product.wxs(45) : error LGHT0094 : Unresolved reference to symbol
'WixUI:WixUI_InstallDir' in section
'Product:{6D829382-8D41-43C9-AC80-7B98DA1BBD72}'.
How do I reference WixUI? Or has it been removed?
I suppose I could build my own dialogs in an RC file and then use Tallow to
create WiX dialogs. Which brings me to #3.
3) Is Tallow still a part of WiX 3? The executable is not anywhere in the
installation. Are its features now included somewhere else?
