Summary: Localized version of License.rtf

Initial Comment:
Hi all,

Isn't it an idea to specify a localization string for 
the 'License.rtf' file?

eg use something like $(loc.LicenseFile) in the UI wxs 
files and in the WixUI_en-us.wxl you specify:
<String Id="LicenseFile">License.rtf</String>

for the dutch version this can be:
<String Id="LicenseFile">Licentie.rtf</String>

for the other versions you can imagine the idea ;-)

Greetings,

Albert van Peppen

In our case it is a legal stuffed license file, only we 
provide two versions of our installer; dutch and english, 
with a dutch or an english license file.
All language differences can be done through the 
localization wxl files, except for the license.rtf.

In my wxs source i use the WixUI_Install and inject my own 
dialog (for selecting an existing SQL server), sou i 
override the UI sequense settings. The only thing i can do 
now (for the locilization of the license file) is include 
the license agreement dialog and built-in my own 
localization-string, which can be (tmho) out in the 
standard files, just like you did with the banners, other 
bmps and ico files... (Maybe the license file was 
forgotten?)

BTW i 'override' the default license.rtf by putting one in 
the same dir as where my wxs source resides. Works like a 
charm, for bitmaps and ico files as well. Only locilazation 
for the license file is not yet possible this way :(

License files are legal stuff, and I don't think the CPL 
allows translations (at least, the GPL does not).

Also, you will almost always override this with you own 
license.
