Playing around with WiX 3.0, candle.exe started emitting a weird message and failing:
WixUIExtension.dll could not be loaded
I fixed this by editing the WiX project file by hand and changing the HintPath to remove the ".dll" extension, i.e. instead of this:
<HintPath>../path/WixUIExtension.dll</HintPath>
Use this:
<HintPath>../path/WixUIExtension</HintPath>
