Hi,

I have created a WiX setup project for my Office addin project, using the wizard, but i'm not able to modify the dialogboxes shown during installation. If I add a dialog I get a "Duplicate symbol 'DialogFilesInUse' found in FilesInUse.wxs. I don't need to show the End-user license agreement.

Hello Mads,

What product did you use to create the setup project? What version/build of that product did you use?

Do you know a way for us to reproduce the issue?

Mads,

It was a hasty question. We've understood what causes the issue and reproduced it.

Add-in Express creates UI dialogs using the built-in dialog set. To avoid using it, please delete the reference WixUIExtension, see the References section of the WiX setup project. Then you need to comment out or delete the following tags:

<UIRef Id="WixUI_InstallDir" />
<UIRef Id="WixUI_ErrorProgressText" />

Now, you can use WiX Designer to customize the dialogs provided by your setup project.

As to the "Duplicate symbol 'DialogFilesInUse' found in FilesInUse.wxs" message this occurs because there are compulsory dialogs. They are added both by the built-in dialog set and by WiX Designer. Deleting the reference and commenting out the tags above removes the dialogs added through the built-in dialog set and thus solves this problem.

Please let me know if the above helps.

Removing the lines below worked, thanks.

<UIRef Id="WixUI_InstallDir" />

Hi,

This seems to give another problem. If I move the target directory from "Program Files Folder" to "Application Folder" and set the DefaultLcation of that folder to "[LocalAppDataFolder][Manufacturer]\[ProductName]" and buld the project I get the error below. I have 3 other installers (not Office addin's) set the same way and they work.
I know about google, but we bought WiX designer to avoid spending to much time learning WiX.

The Component/@Directory attribute cannot be specified when the Component element is nested underneath a Directory element

Hi

- Right click on a ADX Project, select Create Setup Project.
- Finish the guide :)
- Remove <UIRef Id="WixUI_InstallDir" /><UIRef Id="WixUI_ErrorProgressText" /> in Project.wxs
- Create a custom interface using the User Interface Editor
- In the ViX designer select File System Editor
- Set the value of DefaultLocation of "Application Folder" to "[LocalAppDataFolder][Manufacturer]\[ProductName]"
- Drag the files from "Program Files Folder" to "Application Folder".
- Build the installer.

The error is: The Component/@Directory attribute cannot be specified when the Component element is nested underneath a Directory element

In the code: <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
</Directory>
<Component Id="ProductComponent" Guid="a0088ef1-6292-477c-981e-cb2e13596c12" DiskId="1" Directory="INSTALLFOLDER">
<RegistryKey Root="HKLM" Key="Software\[Manufacturer]\[ProductName]">
<RegistryValue Type="string" Name="Installed" Value="[INSTALLFOLDER]" />
</RegistryKey>

Hi Mads,

Thank you for the bug report. We will fix the bug in the next build of WiX Designer. Please try to delete the "Program Files Folder" before building, as far as I can see, it is empty.
