It appears that when I executed Light, I was using the .wsx file instead of the .wixobj file. In running Light again with the .wixobj file, I came across more errors.

It is strongly recommended that authors of installation packages specify an UpgradeCode for their application. Al right, the first error was mine, how about these others? In the tutorial, "1.3 putting it to use', says " You should get no error from either tool",(Candle and Light), and you should have a .msi file in your directory upon completion. I have the .msi file.what about the errors?
