[wix-users] Replace System.Message with custom self developed messagebox.

[Patterson, Brent]

Have you also added the dll to the BootstrapperApplicationRef element in the bundle?  When the installer is built, it will bundle all payloads into the installer, including the dlls you need if you explicitly state those to be included.

I.e.

    <BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="ManagedBootstrapperApplicationHost" >
      <Payload SourceFile="[PATH TO YOUR DLL HERE]" />
      <Payload SourceFile="C:\Program Files\WiX Toolset v3.10\SDK\Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dll"/>
    </BootstrapperApplicationRef>

Subject: [wix-users] Replace System.Message with custom self developed messagebox.

I am using wix for creating our installer. Our UI team has developed our own messagebox and is present in dll. I want to replace system messagebox with my messagebox.
When I put a try catch for my message box then it says:
 InnerException System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'XXX' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I have added the dll in the references of bootstrapper. How can I use it? I think as it embedded in the exe this might not be found. Any pointers?
