As I also wrote, I can disable that smart detection by removing the UIExtension in dark.exe.config. Here is a Feature Request: A command line option to generate full UI source code (independent of the value of this property). Jarl -- Jarl Friis Softace ApS Omøgade 8, 2.sal 2100 København Ø.

If you modify a standard WixUI set, you need to change the WixUI_Mode value if you want the decompiler to work as expected. And then you need to make sure there are no other conditions in the WixUI dialogs that will break if you change the value. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Thanks. Well I guess I was just playing with the tools. In case others are interested, I figured out that you can disable the UIExtension by modifying the dark.exe.config (that will result in the UI being part of the resulting wxs file.

Re: [WiX-users] Using dark on a MSI generated with WixUI
That's a thing Derek did a long time ago. The decompiler is "smart" and puts in what you need to just refer to the .wixlib again. If you're looking for the source code of the Mondo UI, then just look in wix\src\ui\ext\UIExtension\wixlib. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jarl Friis Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2006 6:07 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Using dark on a MSI generated with WixUI I just tried to craete a small MSI using WixUI_Mondo, then revert it using dark.exe When I use dark on that MSI, I am surprised to see that it has a element.
