Subject: How to dynamically get current locale that my msi is built in?
Hi,
I have a wixproj which specifies "<Cultures>en-us;es-es</Cultures>". As you
know, compiling this wixproj will create two MSIs located in en-us folder and
es-es folder respectively.
My installer installs a UI product and need to place the corresponding resource
file to the installation folder. For example, the en-us version MSI should put
the en-us resource of the UI product to the installation folder.
Right now, I am hard code the locale names and put all locales' resources to
the installation folder like:
<DirectoryRef Id="RESOURCE_en-us">
<Component Id='enusComponent'
Guid='7251f24a-ebf5-4833-9dfb-275ee9b0f9e7' Location='local' DiskId='1'
Win64='$(var.Win64AttributeValue)'>
<File Id='RES_en-us'
Vital='yes'
KeyPath='yes'
Name='resources.dll'
Source='$(var.Binaries_PATH)\en-us\resources.dll' />
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
<DirectoryRef Id="RESOURCE_es-es">
<Component Id='enusComponent'
Guid='7251f24a-4424-4833-adaa-27424b0f9e7' Location='local' DiskId='1'
Win64='$(var.Win64AttributeValue)'>
<File Id='RES_es-es'
Vital='yes'
KeyPath='yes'
Name='resources.dll'
Source='$(var.Binaries_PATH)\es-es\resources.dll' />
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
This is obvious a bad solution since it packs all locales resources for any
locale's MSI. I would like pack only the corresponding locale resource for one
MSI. But how can I dynamically get the current locale that the MSI is built? Is
there any global variable exposing locale information?
Appreciate your help!
Thanks
Lian
