This type of question normally indicates something fishy - why would you want to unzip a zip file when you can associate cabinet files with an msi rather easily? It's much better to keep files under MSI control because then they will be patchable - otherwise you'll expose customers to a security t

You didn’t specify a culture for light to use, so it didn’t load any localization strings from the library.  Since wix libraries may contain multiple languages of localized strings, the culture is necessary to pick one.  In this case, you’d probably want “en-us”.   Derek   From:
