Subject: [WiX-users] Is there a better way for custom UI?


Hello everyone,

I currently maintain a number of WiX3 based MSI setups that use custom
UI.
For the custom UI I create a copy of the wixui sources from the WiX
sources
package, customize it, create my own wixlib and link against that
instead of
creating a reference to the stock WixUIExtension.dll. I think I have
this
technique from the tramontana tutorial.

Is there meanwhile a simpler way of creating a custom UI? Creating a
custom
wixlib gets tedious over time and I always have to update my copy of the
sources if I adopt a new WiX3 build in case files in the wixui extension
have changed. Also, my builds take a much longer time if I have to
create a
wixlib for every setup, so I really would like to get rid of these
custom
wixlibs if possible.


Any help appreciated,
