And.... solved my own problem as soon as I had sent the email... I've been looking at this for two weeks on and off.
My XAML Window/@x:Class 's namespace was different than that of the code-behind. The constructor I guess was being auto-created and InitializeComponent was not being called.

Subject: [WiX-users] MBA Application - No controls showing up on my main view Hello Everyone, Trying to create a window for my main view. I get the window showing up but no controls and no text. Just the standard MSI icon. I know I'm invoking the right class since the Run method defined below has a MessageBox.Show(...) and I'm getting that message box. Anyone have any previous experience with this? Is my XAML really that bad?
