OK, I've found the problem. A library is just re-formatted XML just embeds the
WixVariable value as its written in the wxs file. So a solution to this is to
change the WixVariable lines to by:
<WixVariable Id="WixUIBannerBmp" Value="$(sys.SOURCEFILEDIR)Banner.jpg"/>
Which then embeds a full path to the file assuming it is in the current folder.
This works fine if the library project is part of your solution (as ours is)
but not so well if you are trying to share the compiled wxlib file.
Cheers
