light 3.6.2520.0 fails when run on the following file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";
xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension";
xmlns:bal="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/BalExtension";>
<Bundle Name="Foo: Bar" Version="0.0.0.0">
<BootstrapperApplicationRef
Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense"/>
<Chain>
<ExePackage SourceFile="hello.exe"/>
</Chain>
</Bundle>
</Wix>
Here's the error message:
$ light colon.wxs -ext WixBalExtension
Microsoft (R) Windows Installer Xml Linker version 3.6.2520.0

light.exe : error LGHT0001 : Length cannot be less than zero.
Parameter name: length
Exception Type: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException
Stack Trace:

length, Boolean fAlwaysCopy)

Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.BundleInfo..ctor(String bundleFile,
Row row)
at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.BindBundle(Output
bundle, String bundleFile)
at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.Bind(Output output,
String file)
at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Tools.Light.Run(String[] args)
This happens because ParseBundleElement sets a variable,
logVariablePrefixAndExtension that concatanates the Bundle/Log element's
PathVariable and Extension attributes, using a colon as a separator. It
doesn't replace any colons already in the Prefix attribute, so later on
the Binder gets confused when it splits the string on colon
characters...
I can file this as a bug if someone can add me to the project (sf
