Initial Comment:
I wanted to download Votive V3.. which I think I already have, but I was 
installing on a new machine...

The install instructions for Votive here:  
http://wix.sourceforge.net/votive.html   don't mention how to install votive at 
all.  It only talks of prerequisites.

The download links at the side don't separate Votive from the other Wix tools.  
Clicking the Download V3 link goes to here: 
http://wix.sourceforge.net/downloadv3.html

Where there appears to be a link to download Votive 3.0, but all three of the 
download links there go to exactly the same URL, even though they refer to 
three different products.  When you do go to the URL ( 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=105970&package_id=168888) 
you get a list of four files not one of which mentions Votive:  
ProjectAggregator2-3.0.2211.0.msi.zip, wix-3.0.2211.0-binaries.zip, 
Wix-3.0.2211.0.msi.zip, wix-3.0.2211.0-sources.zip.

Hmm.. what exactly do you do to install Votive V3.0?  If you start expanding 
older releases you will find Votive-3.0.2015.0.zip as well as the other 
products mentioned on the download page like ClickThrough-3.0.2015.0.zip..   
Maybe there isn't a new build of Votive, I start thinking...

So I attempted to install the MSI for Votive-3.0.2015.0 only to get a message 
that a later version is already installed!  Searching through Add/Remove 
programs yields no mention of Votive at all... huh?

So finally my eyes hit the last news item on the WiX front page...  which 
basically says everything has been munged into one WiX3.msi.

So could someone please update the download page so there aren't three separate 
links and it is clear that all of the products are included in one download.
