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.

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

When I am done building my installer, (which includes a bunch of localization stuff (which are .mst files embedded into the .msi file)) I'd like to know what the generated ProductCode's are for each .mst file created in the build step. These files get merged into one .msi file, but I cant see
