[WiX-users] Wix V3 UI image substitution

I am trying to customise the standard Wix UI by including our own licence file and branded backgrounds. I can not seem to be able to work out where to put my files in order to get them picked up. I am using Wix version 3 and are happily building using the WixUIExtension. But all the
