Hmmmm
I'm aware right now that building unoptimized templates using the latest version of WB simply doesn't work

I have it fixed for the next version (which is long overdue, though I've done some work on it recently), but for now the only way around is to optimize your templates.
When you say that the template optimizer doesn't load your templates, how exactly does that happen? Do you get a "couldn't load blah.tmp" error message or something?
The error with WB reporting that it can't find the uox executable is probably because I setup WB to look for "uox3.exe" :P Just rename your exe file and it'll work. And I'll see about letting the users change the filename WB should look for in the next WB version...
