I build WiX projects on computers without access to the internet (and never were connected) all the time. I use the http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix namespaces. You only talk about 2 projects: your application, and the MSI project. You probably need a third project: the Bundle project. Maybe you should post the file that has the Bundle element, and the project file that is compiling that.
