Summary: Light.exe crashes when using -loc for a patch
Initial Comment:
I'm trying to use a .wxs and a .wxl file while creating
a .pcp file (to enventually make an .msp file).
My .wxs file contains the line:
<PatchMetadata Description="!(loc.Description)"
My .wxl file is:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='Windows-1252' ?>
<WixLocalization
xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/11/localization'
Codepage='1252' Culture='en'>
<String Id='LANG'>1033</String>
<String Id='Description'>MyPatchDescription</String>
</WixLocalization>
I get this crash with 3.0.1926:
light.exe : error LGHT0001 : Object reference not set
to an instance of an object.
Exception Type: System.NullReferenceException

Thanks! I was offsite yesterday and was planning to create
the simplified version today.

Sorry, nevermind, I just read the description more closely
and figured out the problem from what you provided. I've
got a fix - it should be in the next release.

Could you please do one of the following:
1. Get a stack trace with line numbers (I think you need to
put the pdb files next to the exe files).
2. Provide the wxl and wixobj files you run in light so we
can repro the break.
