Thanks for your feedback and for the bug. We actually already have a fix for that underway, so it should be in the builds fairly soon.

A (somewhat) related issue: We version control our extensions and place them relative to the source; this stops things from falling over when WiX is installed in different locations, and gives people a clue as to when to update to the next weekly release. However, there is to my knowledge no easy way to change an extensions path from being absolute to relative, or to add a relative path to begin with, except by diving into the wixproj file. I've no problems doing this (except the time cost of unloading project -> modify absolute to relative path -> reload project -> test compile -> repeat until successful:), but we want to encourage our developers to think about setup/install as part of the continuous development process, rather than just at the end of it...and this issue hinders that. So, it would be great if the Votive UI for adding an extension reference respected relative paths, just like the rest of Visual Studio does. Opps, sorry, I just realised I should probably log this as an issue rather than via email (will do it now [1]).
