I have Wix configured to use WixUI_Minimal and have a number of dialogs restricted.
I also created a custom Dialog to gather some user input.
Now i am unsure how to insert the custom Dialog and at the correct sequence.
I would like to insert custom Dialog after the WelcomeDlg
How do i do this?
here is my UI.
<UI Id="WixUI_Minimal">
<TextStyle Id="WixUI_Font_Normal" FaceName="Tahoma" Size="8" />

<!--This is the welcome dialog you specified-->
<DialogRef Id="WelcomeDlg" />
<!--Hook the new welcome dialog to the next one in the stack-->

However when i change the path , it still installs the application in default installation drive i.e C drive. I am searching this in net throughout but still facing the same issue.
For customizing the dialog order I tried to follow the instructions provided in the WixToolSet site (Linkwix recommended steps) but failed to achieve result.
Steps done:
Copied the UI from the source code to a new wxs file.
Changed the id of th UI element
Build the project without any further modification.
The above steps results in following error.
Error 4 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.
My intent is to make changed in installui sequence and build the solution but I couldn't proceed.
Try this code
<UI Id="WixUI_InstallDir">
<TextStyle Id="WixUI_Font_Normal" FaceName="Tahoma" Size="8" />
<TextStyle Id="WixUI_Font_Bigger" FaceName="Tahoma" Size="12" />

Thanks LeoN.
I have done more experimentation and found a solution.
Steps :
Copied the UI from the source code (WixUI_Minimal.wxs) to product
cont.
Changed the id of the UI element Removed the uisequence element
Modified the UI conditions. Build the project it was working fine.
Modified Code pasted below

Found that if the ui sequence is there it will give you many unexpected errors.
I have a WiX 3.8 installer Product.wxs that builds correctly in Visual Studio 2010 Professional.
I just wanted to experiment with modifying the steps workflow of the installer, so I added the UI block from this answer just after the Wix/Product/Package XML element:
<UI>
<Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="INSTALLDIR" />
<Property Id="WixUI_Mode" Value="Custom" />
<TextStyle Id="WixUI_Font_Normal" FaceName="Tahoma" Size="8" />
<TextStyle Id="WixUI_Font_Bigger" FaceName="Tahoma" Size="9" Bold="yes" />
<TextStyle Id="WixUI_Font_Title" FaceName="Tahoma" Size="9" Bold="yes" />
<Property Id="DefaultUIFont" Value="WixUI_Font_Normal" />
<DialogRef Id="ProgressDlg" />
<DialogRef Id="ErrorDlg" />
<DialogRef Id="FilesInUse" />
<DialogRef Id="FatalError" />
<DialogRef Id="UserExit" />
<DialogRef Id="InstallDirDlg"/>
<DialogRef Id="FeaturesDlg" />
<Publish Dialog="WelcomeDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="FeaturesDlg" Order="2"></Publish>
<Publish Dialog="FeaturesDlg" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog" Value="WelcomeDlg">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="InstallDirDlg" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog" Value="FeaturesDlg">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="InstallDirDlg" Control="ChangeFolder" Property="_BrowseProperty" Value="[WIXUI_INSTALLDIR]" Order="1">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="InstallDirDlg" Control="ChangeFolder" Event="SpawnDialog" Value="BrowseDlg" Order="2">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="InstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Event="SetTargetPath" Value="[WIXUI_INSTALLDIR]" Order="1">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="InstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="ExitDialog" Order="2">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="ExitDialog" Control="Finish" Event="EndDialog" Value="Return" Order="999">1</Publish>
</UI>
Problem: WiX now fails with this message:
Error 13 Duplicate symbol 'ControlEvent:ExitDialog/Finish/EndDialog/Return/1' 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. C:\MyApp\Installer\Product.wxs 42 1 Installer
Error 14 Location of symbol related to previous error. C:\src\wix38\src\ext\UIExtension\wixlib\WixUI_Minimal.wxs 46 1 Installer
What am I doing wrong?
The problem is that I had another <UI> element later in Product.wxs that I did not remember about.
Removing this second <UI> block solved the problem.
I'm new to Wix. using Wix3.0.
I've created one msi which is installed in "C:\Program Files\MyWix\" path and given permission as GenericWrite="yes" for the MyWix folder.
My problem is after uninstalled msi. MyWix folder and contained files are not deleted. Even i can't delete MyWix folder manually. It saying you don't have permission to delete this folder like that.

plz suggest me.
You'll probably want to ensure that SYSTEM and Administrators can still manipulate the folder. With your code above, the only permission remaining is write. You can try:
<Component Id="MyWix" Directory="INSTALLLOCATION" Guid="{20D7541C-15A7-4c29-8FDE-14DAF191A959}">
<CreateFolder>
<Permission GenericWrite="yes" User="Everyone"/>
<Permission GenericAll="yes" User="SYSTEM"/>
<Permission GenericAll="yes" User="Administrators"/>
</CreateFolder>
</Component>
Use GenericAll instead of GenericWrite, it has full rights on installation folder.
<Permission GenericAll="yes" User="Everyone"/>
I am trying to split out my wix file into two separate files. With everything that exists under my <UI> </UI> tag living in this secondary file.
I have googled this quite a bit but I don't seem to be getting any conclusive results.
Has anyone done this successfully?
You can move the <UI> element with its contents to a separate file easily. Just make sure to reference it from the main Product.wxs with <UIRef> element.
In your Wix project add the reference to the WixUIExtension
In your Product.wxs (Main Install file) add a line like this
<UIRef Id="UserInterface"/>
Add the UserInterface.wxs to your project solution and customize the UI of your MSI:
<TextStyle Id="WixUI_Font_Normal" FaceName="Tahoma" Size="8" />
<TextStyle Id="WixUI_Font_Bigger" FaceName="Tahoma" Size="9" Bold="yes" />
<TextStyle Id="WixUI_Font_Title" FaceName="Tahoma" Size="9" Bold="yes" />
<Property Id="DefaultUIFont" Value="WixUI_Font_Normal" />
<DialogRef Id="ProgressDlg" />
<DialogRef Id="ErrorDlg" />
<DialogRef Id="FilesInUse" />
<DialogRef Id="FatalError" />
<DialogRef Id="UserExit" />
<DialogRef Id="InstallDirDlg"/>
<DialogRef Id="FeaturesDlg" />
<Publish Dialog="WelcomeDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="FeaturesDlg" Order="2"></Publish>
<Publish Dialog="FeaturesDlg" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog" Value="WelcomeDlg">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="InstallDirDlg" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog" Value="FeaturesDlg">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="InstallDirDlg" Control="ChangeFolder" Property="_BrowseProperty" Value="[WIXUI_INSTALLDIR]" Order="1">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="InstallDirDlg" Control="ChangeFolder" Event="SpawnDialog" Value="BrowseDlg" Order="2">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="InstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Event="SetTargetPath" Value="[WIXUI_INSTALLDIR]" Order="1">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="InstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="ExitDialog" Order="2">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="ExitDialog" Control="Finish" Event="EndDialog" Value="Return" Order="999">1</Publish>
</UI>
<UIRef Id="WixUI_Common" />
The complete sample of this code can be found at this answer
Look at this link, explains how to create Custom Dialogs
Good luck!
