Summary
WiX: Whatpredefined UI Dialogs Sets are available right off the bat ()?
WixUI_Advanced
Description:
Provides the option of a one-click install like WixUI_Minimal, but also allows directory and feature selection if the user chooses to configure advanced options.
- Pros:
- its sole dialog combines the welcome and license agreement dialogs
- Cons:
- No choice of install dir
- No feature customization dialog
Requirements:
<UIRef Id="WixUI_Advanced" /> <Directory Id="APPLICATIONFOLDER" Name="My Application Folder"> <Property Id="ApplicationFolderName" Value="My Application Folder" /> <Property Id="WixAppFolder" Value="WixPerMachineFolder | WixPerUserFolder" /> Note: scope can be surpressed with: <WixVariable Id="WixUISupportPerUser" Value="0" />
WixUI_FeatureTree
A simpler version of WixUI_Mondo that omits the setup type dialog.
Instead, the wizard proceeds directly from the license agreement dialog to the
feature customization dialog.
WixUI_FeatureTree is more appropriate than WixUI_Mondo when your product installs all features by default.
WixUI_InstallDir

- Allows user to choose directory where the product will be installed.
- Cons:
- No Feature Set
Requirements:
<UIRef Id="WixUI_InstallDir" /> <Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="TESTFILEPRODUCTDIR" /> <Directory Id="TESTFILEPRODUCTDIR" Name="Test File">
WixUI_Minimal
The simplest of the built-in WixUI dialog sets.
Appropriate when your product has no optional features and does not support changing the installation directory.
- Pros:
- its sole dialog combines the welcome and license agreement dialogs
- Cons:

- no install dir choice
#### WixUI_Mondo ####
