Solved, of course right after I report it.

I completely uninstalled and re-installed WiX and now it appears. I think 
it was related to an issue with the subst command. I had my old G: drive 
die this week and replaced it with another drive that had the same 
structure backed up in a subdirectory. I used subst to make that 
subdirectory appear as G:. But subst is per-user and Administrator doesn't 
see the mapping, so when I installed WiX, it didn't see my VS2010 
installation. I ran cmd.exe as Administrator to set the subst mapping and 
the complete re-install of WiX picked up the VS2010 installation. Repair 
was not sufficient to accomplish this.
