Unresolved WixUI reference: WixUI_InstallDir

Question

I am using wix from the command line. The problem I am facing is that I do not know how I will load WixUtilExtension.dll during the link.

I am currently using the following commands

candle install.wxs 

and then

 light -ext WixUtilExtension install.wixobj 

but it gives me the following error

 Unresolved reference to symbol 'WixUI:WixUI_InstallDir in section product 

The dll is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin , and my files are in the folder that is on the desktop, can some body help me in solving this issue?

thanks

Answer 1

You bind WixUtilExtension , but WixUI_InstallDir is part of WixUIExtension . Sounds like a blank typo.
