Bruce,
The DLL isn't linked per say, but rather it gets embedded into the bundle.
The bundle building process generates a CAB of all compressed resources and
appends it to the end of the bundle EXE. If you are just looking to tweak
WixSTDBA and get it to deploy with your bundle, the easiest way I have found is
building the whole thing.
For testing your custom builds, in your Bundle.wxs,
<BootstrapperApplicationRef
Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense">
<bal:WixStandardBootstrapperApplication LicenseFile="License
Agreement.rtf" LogoFile="logo.png" SuppressOptionsUI="yes"
ThemeFile="RtfTheme.xml" />
<Payload SourceFile="...path\to\wix\build\ship\x86\WixStdBA.dll" />
</BootstrapperApplicationRef>
And in your Bundle.wixproj
<!-- The following props are needed to build the bundle based off of a
local Wix build -->
<WixToolPath>...path\to\wix\build\ship\x86\</WixToolPath>
<WixTargetsPath>$(WixToolPath)Wix.targets</WixTargetsPath>
<WixTasksPath>$(WixToolPath)wixtasks.dll</WixTasksPath>
<WixExtDir>$(WixToolPath)</WixExtDir>
<!-- End local wix build props -->

Subject: [WiX-devs] Building replacement wixstdba from within Visual Studio
I'm working on WixStdBA, and wondering what the minimum amount of code I need
to build is. The wixstdba project creates WixStdBA.dll which doesn't seem to be
distributed, so I guess it gets linked into something else that I can then
replace in C:\Program Files (x86)\Wix Toolset v3.8.
Can someone tell me which project (or projects) that is? I've not had any luck
finding where the DLL is used.
