Votive does not do any conversion. We tried to get all uppercase letters for the GUID, but Visual Studio automatically generates those when it creates the project templates. There may be a way around it by using the Wizard infrastructure, but it was a low priority item.

That's because GUID type in windows installer (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368767(VS.85).aspx) requires letters to be uppercase. The fact that Votive creates GUIDs in mixed case and silently converts them to upper case during compilation is another story. Alex PS. Weird.
