I am doing this in my WixStaBA. The error implies that your project file structure is not:
<Project Dir>\Resource\RtfTheme.xml and RtfTheme.wxl One thing that caused a problem for me initially was that I used a folder name "Resources" but used "Resource" in the Wxs file. A simple typo as some examples use "Resource" and others use "Resources". Eventually I renamed my customized files, but in the Payload element they need to use the hardcoded name of "thm.xml" and "thm.wxl". I also had difficulty getting it to use a mylogo.png file so I just renamed my file the default name. Here is my code if it helps, even though I am using the HyperlinkLargeLicense varant: My folder tree is: <Project Dir> Resources logo.png QDthm.wxl QDthm.xml 1031\QDthm.wxl 1033\QDthm.wxl (note this is same file as in \Resources, but needed here for language detection code) etc. When I start changing the layout for specific languages (later today?) I will also add a copy of QDthm.xml and logo.png to each language subfolder (even if I do not plan to make any change to the png file).
