While upgrading a project from 3.0 to 3.5, getting:

23>C:\delivery\Dev\wix35_public\src\ext\UIExtension\wixlib\WixUI_Advanced.wxs(125,0): error LGHT0170: The InstallUISequence table contains an action 'WelcomeDlg' that is declared in two different locations. Please remove one of the actions or set the Overridable='yes' attribute on one of their elements.
23>C:\delivery\Dev\wix35_public\src\ext\UIExtension\wixlib\WixUI_Minimal.wxs(63,0): error LGHT0171: The location of the action related to previous error.

Project contains no definition of WelcomeDlg, find all for "WelcomeDlg" yields:

Extension reference properties look similar to:
(Name) WixUIExtension
Full Path c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Installer XML v3.5\bin\WixUIExtension.dll
Version 0.0

Properties pane shows version 0.0 but when adding a reference in Add References -> Recent it shows version 3.5.2519.0

Went through all .wixproj and .wixlib files and replaced ProductVersion from 3.0 to 3.5 with no effect.

Looks to be a multiple definition of this dialog somewhere in the extension library.

    Your custom UI has references to both WixUI_Advanced and WixUI_Minimal, which pulls in conflicting authoring.

    Neither of those fragments are directly referenced; neither "WixUI_Advanced" nor "WixUI_Minimal" appears anywhere in the entire solution. Is there a way to find out what would be causing the reference?

    We will try to fix the error message.

    Hello
    I suffered with this "double definition error" using "WixUI_Minimal" also. I don't think it is done by a better error message. But on the other side I'm new to WIX so it may be simply an error by my coding.
    I created a simple file with wixedit (see below). It creates the "defined in two different location" error. I thought there is an Attribute set Overridable="yes" on the InstallSequence elements, but perhaps I'm missing the big picture.

    Interestingly, the "WixUI_Minimal" template has a InstallUISequence section but the "WixUI_Installdir" has not (in the wix source code).

    Adding or reordering dialogs requires creating an all-new dialog set fragment. Any attempt to just add additional Show or Publish elements will conflict with existing content in the WixUI library. If you have a new dialog set fragment, please open a new bug and attach that fragment so we can see what's conflicting.
