WiX 3.0 does UI in the same way WiX 2.0 did. The only difference is it's compiled into a DLL in WiX 3.0 rather than a wixlib & you need to change your command line for running light.exe accordingly.
The Back/next/whatever buttons should be modified using Publish Elements. See "Customizing Built-in WixUI Dialog Sets" and the section titled "WixUI Dialog Library Reference" in WiX.chm (the online WiX 3.0 manual appears to have gone AWOL otherwise I'd link you to it directly).

Subject: [WiX-users] Migrating custom UI from Wix 2 to Wix 3 I started revising our package generating scripts from using Wix 2 to Wix 3 yesterday. It went well until I got to the custom UI :-) We have some custom UI which is based on WixUI_Mondo, and in Wix 2 we did this by using DialogRefs to all the Mondo screens we wanted to keep, adding some DialogRefs to our custom screens, and then patching all the Back/Next/whatever buttons together using Properties. It looks like Wix 3 does UI very differently, and consequently light.exe refuses to "link" our package against the new UI stuff. Has anyone got any advice for migrating? I couldn't see much about v3 UI customization in the docs or tutorials, so am uncertain on what approach to take.
