Hello, I think I have broken my WiX installation and have not been able to recover from it.
I am using WiX 3.7 from command prompt on a 64-bit Windows 7 laptop. When initially working on the tutorial for WiX (http://wix.tramontana.co.hu/tutorial/user-interface/ui-wizardry), I was able to successfully build the MSI file using the UI components. I then tried to apply it to the application that I am working on and ran into undefined symbols issues. Not thinking clearly, I blamed my issues on WiX and not a typo on my part. I tried to update my WiX, Repair and then uninstall and reinstall it. After that (I admit idiotic) process, I found the typo in my application files and was to remove the undefined symbols errors only to start getting duplicate symbols errors for the components that involve the WiX UI in my application. After a lot of online research, I decided to go back and repeat my initial success with the tutorial files just to check my installation. Now when I compile and link the tutorial, I get many errors like the following: E:\delivery\Dev\wix37_public\src\ext\UIExtension\wixlib\WixUI_Mondo.wxs(54) : error LGHT0091 : Duplicate symbol 'ControlEvent:WelcomeDlg/Next/NewDialog/VerifyReadyDlg/Installed AND PATCH' found. This typically means that an Id is duplicated. Check to make sure all your identifiers of a given type (File, Component, Feature) are unique. E:\delivery\Dev\wix37_public\src\ext\UIExtension\wixlib\WixUI_InstallDir.wxs(58) : error LGHT0092 : Location of symbol related to previous error. All of my searches on the web for duplicate symbols return results for when users are customizing the UI and have not renamed their Ids. In my application and the tutorial, none of this has been done. I am fairly certain that this is due to my repair/uninstall/reinstall of WiX 3.7. I would just love some help in cleaning up my installation so that the tutorial works again. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to investigate where the duplicate symbols are coming from? The reference to the E drive is confusing me as I do not have one. When I uninstalled and rebooted, before reinstalling, I looked in the registry to determine whether or not there were some lingering references to WiX in the registry and did not find any.
