[WiX-users] Adding an extra dialog to the installer

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi,
I want to add an extra dialog (a simple one ) in the installer i have the
following:

Main.wxs describing the directory structure
MyInstallDirDlg-some text modified
MyWixUI_InstallDir

This is what i did :

I copied the contents of InstallDirDlg and formed a new .wxs

MyInstallDirPreferDlg.wxs

and in the MyWixUI_InstallDir.wxs sequence i added the following

-WixUI_MyInstallDirPreferDlg

and added two publish statements as:

<Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirPreferDlg" Control="Back" Event="NewDialog"
Value="LicenseAgreementDlg">1</Publish>
            <Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirPreferDlg" Control="Next"
Event="NewDialog" Value="MyInstallDirDlg">1</Publish>

The initial contents of the MyInstallDirPreferDlg looks like:

  <UI>

            <Dialog Id="MyInstallDirPreferDlg" Width="370" Height="270"
Title="a new dialog">
                <Control Id="Next" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="243"
Width="56" Height="17" Default="yes" Text="a new dialog" />
                <Control Id="Back" Type="PushButton" X="180" Y="243"
Width="56" Height="17" Text="!(loc.WixUIBack)" />
                <Control Id="Cancel" Type="PushButton" X="304" Y="243"
Width="56" Height="17" Cancel="yes" Text="!(loc.WixUICancel)">
                    <Publish Event="SpawnDialog"
Value="CancelDlg">1</Publish>
                </Control>

I compiled everything as:

>candle.exe main.wxs -dPlatform=x86 -ext WixUtilExtension
>candle.exe MyInstallDirDlg.wxs -dPlatform=x86 -ext WixUtilExtension
>candle.exe MyInstallDirPreferDlg.wxs -dPlatform=x86 -ext WixUtilExtension
>candle.exe MyWixUI_InstallDir.wxs -dPlatform=x86 -ext WixUtilExtension
> light.exe main.wixobj -dWixUILicenseRtf=License.rtf -ext WixUIExtension
-ext WixUIExtension -ext WixUtilExtension MyInstallPreferDlg.wixobj
MyInstallDirDlg.wixobj MyWixUI_InstallDir.wixobj -loc localization.wsl -o
impression.msi

however it gives the errors as
