Yes, I have re-read the WiX.chm sections on multi-language builds. Also
read a number of blogs and the tutorial at blogs.technet.com/alexshev/ How
about another hint about how to diagnose the error:
candle.exe : error CNDL0288: The variable 'Configuration' with value
'Release' was previously declared with value 'Release'.
I'm not sure this is relevant, but we are using an MSBuild script (below). I
tried updating the .net and Windows SDK references, but it didn't make a
difference.
None of the tutorials or blogs or help that I found covers the MSBuild
script.

and Wix 3.0.5217
Did you read the help documentation about how to do multi-language
builds in the WiX.chm? It has changed a lot in the last year+ since you
last picked up a build.
