6.0 Trying to create minimal WixUI_Advanced installer

[alvaro-j-baranoski]

Greetings.

I'm trying to create a minimal installer that uses the WixUI_Advanced template to support per Machine and per User installation, however, I'm getting the following two errors when trying to build the project using Visual Studio with the Heatwave add-on:

1>D:\a\wix\wix\src\ext\UI\wixlib\WixUI_Advanced.wxs(55): error WIX0094: The identifier 'Property:ApplicationFolderName' could not be found. Ensure you have typed the reference correctly and that all the necessary inputs are provided to the linker.
1>D:\a\wix\wix\src\ext\UI\wixlib\InstallScopeDlg.wxs(14): error WIX0094: The identifier 'Property:WixAppFolder' could not be found. Ensure you have typed the reference correctly and that all the necessary inputs are provided to the linker.

My Product.wxs looks like this:

<Wix xmlns="http://wixtoolset.org/schemas/v4/wxs"
	 xmlns:ui="http://wixtoolset.org/schemas/v4/wxs/ui">
	<Package Name="MyAppName" Language="1033" Version="1.0.0.0" Manufacturer="MyManufacturerName" UpgradeCode="f5e235d4-8e38-44fb-9197-8bd758a93b83" Scope="perUserOrMachine">
		
		<MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage="A newer version of [ProductName] is already installed." />
		
		<MediaTemplate EmbedCab="yes" />

		<Feature Id="ProductFeature" Title="MyAppName" Level="1">
			<ComponentGroupRef Id="ProductComponents" />
		</Feature>
		
		<ui:WixUI Id="WixUI_Advanced" InstallDirectory="INSTALLFOLDER"/>
		
	</Package>

	<!-- Directory Structure -->
	<Fragment>
			<StandardDirectory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
				<Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="MyAppName">
				</Directory>
			</StandardDirectory>
		</Fragment>

	<!-- Files to Install -->
	<Fragment>
		<ComponentGroup Id="ProductComponents" Directory="INSTALLFOLDER">
			<Component Id="ProductComponent">
				<File Id="FileToInstall.txt" KeyPath="yes" Source="FileToInstall.txt"></File>
			</Component>
		</ComponentGroup>
	</Fragment>
</Wix>

And my project configuration looks like this:

<Project Sdk="WixToolset.Sdk/6.0.0">
  <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Debug|x86' ">
    <DefineConstants>Debug</DefineConstants>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="WixToolset.Util.wixext" Version="6.0.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="WixToolset.UI.wixext" Version="6.0.0" />
  </ItemGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <Content Include="FileToInstall.txt" />
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>

What am I doing wrong here?

Try to add

<Property Id="ApplicationFolderName" Value="My Application Folder" />
<Property Id="WixAppFolder" Value="WixPerMachineFolder" />

into the <Package>

Hi @PetrNecasSE, I tried your suggestion, but now the error I get is:

error WIX0091: Duplicate Property with identifier 'WIXUI_INSTALLDIR' found. Access modifiers (global, library, file, section) cannot prevent these conflicts. Ensure all your identifiers of a given type (Directory, File, etc.) are unique.
