[WiX-users] FW: Correct method for modifying a built-in UI?

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

I am trying to alter one of the built in UI's, WixUI_Advanced, and running
into issues with Duplicate symbols.

What I have done:

1.       Copied the Fragment contents of WixUI_Advanced.wxs to be local to
my installer project.   Saved in separate wxs file

2.       Renamed the UI, made the modifications I needed

3.       Copied the InstallScopeDlg.wxs to my local project.

a.       Renamed the dialog

b.      Made local logic changes

4.       Local UI compiled with Candle, not including -ext WixUIExtension

5.       Local InstallScope dialog compiled with Candle

6.       My install script compiled with Candle

7.       All wixobjs linked with light -ext WixUIExtension

a.       This is where I consistently get multiple duplicate symbol errors?

I have followed what I think is the most recent link on this:
http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/wixui/wixui_customizations.htm

Example of errors:

c:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.9\bin"\light.exe -nologo -spdb -sval
-out win32.msi -ext WixUtilExtension -ext WixUIExtension files.wixobj
product.wixobj CommonInstall.wixlib

Stop.

Is there something I am missing? Or am I incorrect in thinking that built in
dialogs can be reused?

Thanks
