A workaround is to use bitmap - 1x1 pixel, black. Something like 

<Control Id="VerticalLine" Type="Bitmap" X="120" Y="10" Width="1" Height="230" Text="WixUI_Bmp_Black"/>

This is a limitation of the Windows Installer. The Line control can only describe be a horizontal line. The Height attribute is ignored. This is probably also a WiX defect in that the compiler should give an error when trying to provide a Height Attribute when the Type is Line.

Line Control (Windows Installer -MSDN )
