OK, I found the log file in %TEMP%.  Here's basically what it says:

Any pointer on what's wrong?

So any tip on how I can debug my problem?  My Setup.exe doesn't seem to do 
anything (it just silently returns, with no screen pop up).  Is there any way 
to invoke logging, like with msiexec?

Not today. You can build the bootstrapper project but there are no 
debugging/launch features built into Votive. So all that F5 related stuff 
doesn't do anything.
