It's pretty easy.
Install the package, you should see a new project type "tab" that includes
setup projects, merge modules and libraries. What you end up with is a shell
Xml file that works just like it would without Votive.
You can add a project reference and then use something like this:
<Component Id='c_xx' Guid='{xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx}'>
<File Id='f.xx' Name='$(var.ProjectName.TargetFileName)'
Source='$(var. ProjectName.TargetPath)' />
<File Id='f.xx.pdb' Name= ProjectName.Resources.pdb' Source='$(var.
ProjectName.TargetDir) ProjectName.pdb' />
</Component>
(We always package our binaries and PDBs together to get better error reporting
in the field)

Can you give a pointer to a Votive tutorial?
