Re: [WiX-users] Embedded Transforms for L10n and how to display them.
How come you're using mst files for localization and not .wxl files that are built into WiX? http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/howtos/ui_and_localization/make_installer_localizable.html -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Embedded-Transforms-for-L10n-and-how-to-display-them-tp7598340p7598358.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!

Re: [WiX-users] Embedded Transforms for L10n and how to display them.
I suspect that wxl files were used to batch build the msi resulting in n msi packages for n cultures defined. I used to do what I think he is doing, using torch(or similar) to create mst files of the difference between my base msi (english msi) and each of the other cultures, named :lcid.mst. Then used EmbedTranorms.exe (or similar script) to embed it into the base msi so I only needed to deploy one msi. All of that worked great when the base msi was deployed as a single file. But embedding the transforms results in problems when using a Burn driven model (I think because the ProductCode gets changed in the mst). The problems may not be obvious until a 'on-demand' install scenario kicks in. So to address that particular issue I went back to including each culture specific msi in my bundle (which has other issues). Maybe this is not related to the original question, but if planing to use Burn, don't embed. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Embedded-Transforms-for-L10n-and-how-to-display-them-tp7598340p7598364.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!

Re: [WiX-users] Embedded Transforms for L10n and how to display them.
Thanks for the replies fellas. Phill is right on - that's the way I do it, and because I inherited this project and am fearful of making big changes and screwing it up ;-) it is still done this way. Someday I'll upgrade to using Burn, too, and get off of the old Wix 3.5. Now back to the original question... how can i see the product codes in the MSI if there are embedded transforms in it? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Embedded-Transforms-for-L10n-and-how-to-display-them-tp7598340p7598365.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!

Re: [WiX-users] Embedded Transforms for L10n and how to display them.
It looks like you have the .mst files because you are then embedding into the MSI file. So you can open the base MSI file with Orca and use the Transforms menu to apply them, the changes being highlighted. Do you maybe no longer have the mst files or something? --- Phil Wilson On Wed, Dec 3, 2014 at 8:51 AM, gapearce mr_gapea...@yahoo.com wrote: Thanks for the replies fellas.

Re: [WiX-users] Embedded Transforms for L10n and how to display them.
Thanks for the leads to the vb code - looks promising - and I do still have the mst files to apply to the base msi using Orca - I was trying to figure that out before - That helps a lot. I'm going to mess around with the VB code for a bit. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Embedded-Transforms-for-L10n-and-how-to-display-them-tp7598340p7598374.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
