Sorry to answer my own post.
I'm new to Ant, so I didn't know that I needed to have my command
invocation like this;
<exec executable="${wix.dir}/light.exe"
dir="${iis_install.dir}">
<arg value="-ext"/>
<arg value="WixUIExtension"/>
<arg value="-ext"/>
<arg value="WixUtilExtension"/>
<arg value="-cultures:en-us"/>
<arg value="-out"/>
<arg value="${iis_install.msi}"/>
<arg value="${iis_install.object}"/>
</exec>
Instead of this, which does *NOT* work (one can not combine arguments in
the same arg value).
<exec executable="${wix.dir}/light.exe"
dir="${iis_install.dir}">
<arg value="-ext WixUIExtension -ext WixUtilExtension "
/>
<arg value="-cultures:en-us"/>
<arg value="-out${iis_install.msi}"/>
<arg value="${iis_install.object}"/>
</exec>
I'm posting in case anyone else gets stuck on the same issue.

Subject: Trying to build WiX in ANT
Hi,
I'm trying to build my WiX project using Apache Ant.
When I run my candle.exe and light.exe commands in a "plain" DOS command
(no WiX directories in path) the build is successful. The commands I
use are;
C:\PathTo\candle.exe MyProject.wxs
C:\PathTo\light.exe MyProject.wixobj -ext WixUIExtension -ext
WixUtilExtension -cultures:en-us -out MyProject.msi
When I run (what I've checked to be) the same commands in Ant, I get
many of these types of errors;
error LGHT0094 : Unresolved reference to symbol
'WixUI:WixUI_Common' in section
'Product:{1759D8EC-781D-44EA-965D-2F4E9B05991B}'.
<snip>
error LGHT0094 : Unresolved reference to symbol
'Dialog:LicenseAgreementDlg' in section
'Product:{1759D8EC-781D-44EA-965D-2F4E9B05991B}'.
<snip>
error LGHT0094 : Unresolved reference to symbol 'Binary:WixCA'
in section 'Product:{1759D8EC-781D-44EA-965D-2F4E9B05991B}'.
<snip>
Obviously, something is different in the environment when run from Ant,
but I don't know where to start. Should I likely;
1) invoke candle.exe with additional switches?
2) invoke light.exe with additional switches?
I tried making my light command like this;
C:PathTo\light.exe C:\PathTo\MyProject.wixobj -ext
C:\PathTo\WixUIExtension -ext C:\PathTo\WixUtilExtension -cultures:en-us
-out MyProject.msi
But this gave the following error;
light.exe : error LGHT0144 : The extension 'C:\ PathTo\WixUIExtension'
could not be loaded.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Dale
