VS2010/Votive displays bal:Overridable as an attribute option for Bundle/Chain/MsiPackage. When MsiPackage/@bal:Overridable="yes" is provided the following compile error is observed:
"

When I remove the MsiPackage/@bal:Overidable="yes" then the project compiles and runs as expected. This bug was opened based on the WiX-users suggestion that the error message is misleading.
