Re: [WiX-users] Help with localized file locations

2012-06-18 Thread Rob Mensching
Something else to consider: instead if using loc variables, try organizing your build location so that bind paths can be used. Then when building you can provide the appropriate bindpath on the command-line. I do this to minimize the File/@Source elements all the time. "Named base paths" can be qui

I think that I may have caused some confusion by naming the File/@Id field the way I did in my example. In reality, I am using "heat"-style ID's (for example "filB75B712DC4A64A7882230FE0BCC0CC3E") for all of my files. Regardless of the ID convention, though, I get the same errors. However, I did j

You could try doing this with variables instead of localised strings. If there are a lot of these variables then you could put the command line arguments for defining them into a file and add "@filename.txt" to your command line, with a different file for each language. Rob On 15/06/2012 17:4
