Sorry - I never finished my sentence in the first paragraph below. 

What I was trying to say, was that after working through the issues of
the upgrade, I found it wouldn't link because the wixui library was not
in root of the package directory, as it had been with the 2.0 package
(odd that you folks don't have an MSI installer for WiX, don't you
think? :) I tried moving the 2.x libraries into the 3.x packages, but
these didn't link properly - they hadn't properly been upgraded. I also
tried searching in your releases directory for other releases, but none
of them had the wixlibs in the root directory of the packages. Finally,
I tried building from source (after downloading and installing nant) -
WiX apparently relies on VS.NET 2003 and the .NET SDK 1.1 - I've already
moved on to VS 2005 and .NET SDK 2.0... what a pain!

BTW, I LOVE this stuff. I've just barely begun with it, and I already
feel comfortable with it and have recommended it to several others.

Hey, I was wondering why don't the wixlib libraries (wixui, etc) ship
installed with the developer release? 

I have an installer with a GUI interface - I take advantage of the WIX
UI (Mondo) interface. I tried upgrading my source to the 3.0 developer
release. After working through the issues (one source file was
generated
by tallow - it used the src attribute on the file element - had to be
changed to the newer Source attribute. Also had to change LongName to
Name and remove the old short Name attributes on the File elements.)

Incidentally, the reason for attempting to use 3.0 (unstable) rather
than the 2.0 (stable) version was that I was having some verification
issues with my installer under the 2.x release, and thought I'd try
the
new stuff before mentioning it to you.

John
