[wix-users] Problem with custom theme after upgrading to WiX 10.x

[Stephens, Rich]

So, I have a custom themed bootstrapper (not custom coded, just custom theme) based on WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.HyperlinkLicense.

I originally wrote it using Wix 3.9  and it works normally.  However, after upgrading to WiX 3.10, I get the old "double click the installer and it just exits with no GUI" routine.

I've tried it with even the first release candidate of 3.10 with the same result.

My log file looks like this:

The only clue is the  log file looks like this: "Failed to initialize data in bootstrapper application".

Has anyone encountered this after upgrading to WiX 3.10?
