I've used Wix before to build installers, and it's great!
I recently re-imaged my machine, and only installed Visual Studio 2010, because I've updated all my projects to that version.
When I download and install WiX 3.0, it complains that Votive will not be installed because I don't have visual studio 2005 or 2008 "or later" installed. That's OK, I don't use Votive anyway (and I don't quite understand what VS 2008 has to do with that, but whatever...)
When I try to link my Wix installer using light.exe, I get a link error, because it can't find the UI wixlibs. Searching various locations on my drive (common files, Wix install dir, etc), I cannot find any wixlib files.
Is the problem that I need to find a separate download for the WiX UI libraries? If so, where? I can't find any promising links on the Wix web site. Or is the problem that the UI libraries are somehow linked to the Votive installation? If so, how can I install them on a system that only has Visual Studio 2010?
The answer turns out to be that UI has moved away from wixlib files and into the WixUIExtension.dll extension. Thus, when calling light to link, I can pass -ext WixUIExtension, and all is good. This solves my problem with "Unresolved reference to symbol 'WixUI:WixUI_Minimal' in section Product"
The exact steps are: Project Properties -> Tool Settings -> Linker -> add "-ext WixUIExtension"
