You've already worked this out, but for anyone else who hasn't--when you
set the WixStdBaLicenseRTF WixVariable, you are just overriding the
@SourceFile of the license Payload that is implicitely included when you
add your BootstrapperApplicationRef; the @Name remains "license.rtf". So
if you want a per-theme license file, you have to call it "LCID
\license.rtf" where LCID is the locale ID.
The same goes for WixStdbaThemeWxl ("thm.wxl") and WixStdbaThemeXml
("thm.xml"). But when you have a per-locale theme file, there is one
additional caveat to be aware of:

I am guessing your themes refer to "logo.png". If you don't include a
logo.png file in the per-LCID directory, the bootstrapper will log
something like "failed to create theme controls") to the installation log
and exit without presenting any UI to the user.
Either provide a logo.png Payload in each LCID directory, or modify your
per-LCID themes to refer to "..\logo.png" so that they get the default
logo.
BTW, I figured this out with Process Monitor from SysInternals. An
invaluable tool for diagnosing such issues!
I recently posted some of the other problems I had to work around in
creating a localized bundle; you can read it at <http://www.mail-
archive.com/[email protected]/msg49035.html>. I'd be
interested to hear if you can add anything that I missed out.
