Thanks for the reply. This looks like what I currently have but it still
doesn't work. Currently there is only one window in the installer. Am I
missing something?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Visual Styles in Wix BA
I had the same issue. The cause seem to be that for a regular WPF application
there is always an Application.Current
The boostrapper kinda fakes it so there is no application.Current and as a
consequence you cannot have any application level resources for a managed
boostrapper. What I ended up doing is having a
<Page.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary
Source="pack://application:,,,/Styles/Styles.xaml" />
</Page.Resources>
for every window/page in my boostrapper. This works fine.
Hope it helps
