Re: [WiX-users] Wix Burn LogoFile doesn't work on Windows XP
Long shot but is your icon file a valid icon on Windows XP? Try copying it to an XP machine and assigning it to a shortcut. I seem to remember that the bit depth, icon size or alpha channel changed after Windows XP.

Re: [WiX-users] Wix Burn LogoFile doesn't work on Windows XP
Based on what you've described it sounds like a bug. Can you debug it and see? Can you open a bug if it looks like something is messed up?

Re: [WiX-users] Wix Burn LogoFile doesn't work on Windows XP
Hi Rob, I'm not sure what you mean by debug. Does burn have a verbose command line option? I'm not that familiar with window installer and wix. Just started using wix for msi 6 months ago and burn a week ago.
