1. When linking SampleWixUI.wxs using Wix version 3.0.2330.0, I
should use "light -ext WixUIExtension -cultures:en-US

refers to? I see that the project can be linked without this
flag as well?!
The -sice switch suppresses validation of a particular check. ICE64 has
nothing specifically to do with UI? Where did you see that you're
supposed to use it?
1. Where and under which name should I store the alternative bmp
files I would like to use for the dialogs in UI sequence? Wix
tutorial lesson 2 offers place and names which does not exists.
The tutorial is using WiX v2. For WiX v3, WiX variables replace the
hard-coded file names. Here's an excerpt from a doc update that should
appear in the next weekly release:
Specifying a license file
WixUIExtension.dll includes a default, placeholder license agreement. To
specify your product's license, override the default by specifying a WiX
variable named WixUILicenseRtf with the value of an RTF file that
contains your license text. You can define the variable in your WiX
authoring:
<WixVariable Id="WixUILicenseRtf" Value="bobpl.rtf" />
or at the *light* command line:
light -ext WixUIExtension -cultures:en-us -dWixUILicenseRtf=bobpl.rtf
Product.wixobj -out Product.msi
The file you specify must be in a directory *light* is looking in for
files. Use the *-b* switch to add directories.
Replacing the stock bitmaps
The WixUI dialog library includes stock bitmaps for the background of
the welcome and installation-complete dialogs and the top banner of the
other dialogs. You can replace those graphics with your own for
product-branding purposes. To replace stock bitmaps, specify WiX
variable values with the file names of your bitmaps, as when replacing
the default license text.
*Variable name* *Description* *Dimensions*
WixUIBannerBmp Top banner 493 × 58
WixUIDialogBmp Background bitmap used on welcome and install-complete
dialogs 493 × 312
WixUIExclamationIco Exclamation icon on the wait-for-costing dialog 32
× 32
WixUIInfoIco Information icon on the cancel and error dialogs 32 × 32
WixUINewIco Button glyph on directory-browse dialog 16 × 16
WixUIUpIco Button glyph on directory-browse dialog 16 × 16
