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".
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Minnis Sent: Sunday, July 13, 2008 15:06 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net 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? -Jamey ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
