Thanks for the prompt reply ... I cut-and-paste the CANDLE and LIGHT
command lines reported by VS2005 into a CMD window ... here's the output
from the LIGHT command-line invocation:
---snip---
Microsoft (R) Windows Installer Xml Linker version 3.0.4318.0
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\IPDS\Dev\DI3_Installer\Product.wxs(37) : error LGHT0094 : Unresolved

'Product:{2EF48795-21DF-4790-8E47-A87EA68E43A6}'.
---end snip---
So yes, the two errors are reported with explanatory text on separate
output lines. At least I can fonally get some more insight into my
problems ... thanks!
I take it then that there is (currently) no documented list of all error
codes/messages that the WiX toolset might generate ?
Thanks for the help.

Very strange. Can you try running light from the command-line directly
and see if the error message comes out? If so, then this would be a bug
in Votive. There might already be a bug open on VS2005 and this...
VS2005 itself apparently has a couple issues around this sort of thing
IIRC.

Subject: [WiX-users] List of WIX Error Codes (or Votive with VS2005)
I'm just starting to use WiX, and have installed the v3 Beta
(3.0.4318.0, including ProjectAggregator2) and using VS 2005. I am
getting some error messages when building the WiX project like this (yes
all on one line):
C:\IPDS\Dev\DI3_Installer\Product.wxs(37,0)Error LGHT0094:
C:\IPDS\Dev\DI3_Installer\Product.wxs(38,0)Error LGHT0094: Done building
project "IPDS_Installer.wixproj" -- FAILED.
I don't want to know what specifically is wrong ... I just want to know
where I can find out what the error codes mean ... i.e. where does the
list of error codes and their explanations reside ? I can't find
anything in wix.chm or on the web site.
I've seen other posts/blogs where explanatory messages follow the error
codes ... is there something wrong with my installation of Votive that
it can't find any error-look-up information to report (hence mashing
everything onto one line of output ? I didn't find a stand-alone zip of
Votive (it seems to be integrated/embedded in Wix-3.0.4318.0.msi ...
Votive seems to be working nicely for me (e.g. no difficulties with
project/file generation from WiX templates, Intellisense completion,
etc.).
Thanks for any assistance.
