John, thanks for reply.

The objective for asking for a tutorial wasn't the starting point and 
that it isn't so difficult. I am more interested in exploring all the 
features of Votive, especially the harvesting feature. That's the point 
where I have found problems.

Does harvesting did not work any more in Votive/WiX 3.6?
