[WiX-users] Issue with votive

Hi, I've got a machine with Wix 4-the latest weekly, visual studio 2010 and visual 2012 update 2. When I install WiX, the visual studio 2010 votive is installed, but there doesn't appear to be to be a votive for vs2012. Is this a known issue or is there one planned going forward. Cheers San.
