Scratch that question I tried removing the Culture="en-us" attribute and saw that it is not optional. So it seems that with the current wix framework the moment you add Resources\Strings.wxl <WixLocalization /> file to your sources you can expect build output to start showing up in bin\$(Configuration)\<wixLocalizationCultureAttribValue>.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] what setting causes current wix build output to land in bin\$(Configuration)\en-us versus bin\$(Configuration) where it always used to land Thanks for the response. I currently only have a single Resources\Strings.wxl in my project settings which has the Culture="en-us" attribute set. Should I just remove that string resources file Culture attribute setting to get build output landing in bin\$(Configuration) again? <WixLocalization Culture="en-us" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/localization";> For now since we only build Language="1033" setup output getting msi and msp build output to land in bin\$(Configuration) again is super helpful in terms of TFS automated build processing where being able to have postBuild events simply reference $(OutDir) makes the desktop vstudio and tfs build agent server pre/postBuild event authoring more straight forward. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Neil Enns Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2008 1:37 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] what setting causes current wix build output to land in bin\$(Configuration)\en-us versus bin\$(Configuration) where it always used to land Robert, This happens when you have multiple .wxl files in your project with different cultures in them. Setting the Cultures field in properties will control which languages get built, but the output will still go into the sub-folder (this is so you can set up different configurations, for example, to control which languages get built for different types of builds). The only way to disable this is to remove the .wxl files from the project that are for other languages. You could also perhaps do some tweaking to the project file to conditionally include those .wxl files based on a flag somewhere, but that would be some additional work and tweaking.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] what setting causes current wix build output to land in bin\$(Configuration)\en-us versus bin\$(Configuration) where it always used to land This is really got me in a tail spin. In my existing project started with 4004 and recently migrated to the latest wix drop regardless of whether I do or do not have a <wixProject> | properties | build | cultures field value specified my light.exe output is getting directed to bin\$(Configuration)\en-us. In any file | new | wix project regardless of whether I do or do not have a <wixProject> | properties | build | cultures field value specified my light.exe output is getting directed to bin\$(Configuration). Diff'ng both wixproj files I am unable to find anything different that would suggest why. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Arnson Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 6:47 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
