There are different approaches to doing localization in a managed context, and since this is a .Net issue and not specifically related to WiX I did not find a specific document with steps on how to do it. Yes I localize my mba for en, de, es, it, ja, and zh. My approach was a little different tha

Re: [WiX-users] msi failed in uninstallation

The obvious question to ask is whether the MSI file actually is there at that location, which seems an odd location (it's where cached MSIs are). If it is there, it had better be the same package and product code as the original install, that's a requirement. Also check the permissions to that dire

I have noticed this issue today, with Wix 3.9.1006 in the simplest msi setup project, which makes no reference to any security element (or any other extension), when there is not a reference in the project to WixUtilExtension. Adding the WixUtilExtension referenced silenced this build error. --
