At a higher level, what you're trying to do (replace only one or two files) 
isn't a supported use case (nor a goal). We just don't do that ever. Thus, it 
isn't that surprising to me that it doesn't "just work".

Subject: Re: [WiX-devs] Trying to reference the WixBalExtension.dll

sounds good but I don't know WHICH files to replace... basically the binaries 
zip file is the BIN folder + SDK + DOCs

1. I found out that each build you do the build increases the version number, 
then you get out of sync since there is a registry entry that has the product 
version of WIX 3.8.
2. so to fool that I have updated the WixBuild.Version.targets file with the
line: <BuildNumber>1128</BuildNumber>

The problem is that I am not sure what files I should overwrite for the 
WixBalExtension.dll I copied over a few at a time: wix.dll, 
WixBalExtension.dll, burn.exe and would get an error building a boostrapper 
(MSI's had no issue)

I gave up and ended up coping over the *.exe/*.dll/*.wixlib and now that works 
but it seems silly to copy over that many files for 1 DLL that I changed source 
code wise....
