This page in the manual explains (beyond everything else) how to customize the dialog sequence and insert a new dialog in the flow: http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/wixui/wixui_customizations.html – Yan Sklyarenko Jan 08 '14 at 16:24

Have you referenced the WixUIExtension in your WIX Installation project? You need this to give you the BrowseDialog.
You can find the WixUIExtension.dll file in the bin
folder of the WiX Toolset installation folder in Program Files.

Thanks for you reply, I added the WixUIExtension reference already. Now i haven't receive any error like Unresolved reference...etc. I missed to add property for dialog control. That's the reason of my error. Thank again. – Cegone Jan 09 '14 at 14:22

@Cegone If this helped you, you should consider accepting it as the answer. – sirdank Feb 04 '16 at 20:37

I added a new wxs file by accident to a WiX project with build action as content rather than Compile; therefore, WiX was not compiling the newly added wxs file since it was being treated as a content file.
Simple solution is to remove and then re-add the new wxs file.

That was it! Just go to the .wxs file's properties and change its Build Action to Compile. – J Pollack Aug 27 '15 at 13:16
