specify WiX variable values with the file names of your bitmaps, as when
replacing the default license text.
(you're missing -d switches or <WixVariable ... /> )

Hello Bob and thanks for the fast reply,
According to you're second reply, I've created a new directory which
includes two files named WixUIBannerBmp.bmp and WixUIDialogBmp.bmp. I've
used " light -ext WixUIExtension -cultures:en-US -sice:ICE64
-bD:\Wix\Wix_3.0.2330.0\Bitmaps SampleWixUI.wixobj" for linking and the
msi still uses the old fashion bmp files. What's wrong?
TIA

1. When linking SampleWixUI.wxs using Wix version 3.0.2330.0, I
should use "light -ext WixUIExtension -cultures:en-US
-sice:ICE64 SampleWixUI.wixobj". What does the flag –sice 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.
