    The WixVariable XML element can be used.

    <WixVariable Id="WixUILicenseRtf" Value="path\License.rtf" />

    And here’s a few others…

    <WixVariable Id="WixUIBannerBmp" Value="path\banner.bmp" />
<WixVariable Id="WixUIDialogBmp" Value="path\dialog.bmp" />
<WixVariable Id="WixUIExclamationIco" Value="path\exclamation.ico" />
<WixVariable Id="WixUIInfoIco" Value="path\information.ico" />
<WixVariable Id="WixUINewIco" Value="path\new.ico" />
<WixVariable Id="WixUIUpIco" Value="path\up.ico" />

    Just a note about the GPLv2. Officially it’s only available in TXT; when converted to RTF using something like WordPad, the hard coded new lines make for an untidy view in the MSI.
