There is a naming convention of transforms you embed into your MSI that causes Windows Installer to automatically apply one of them based on the OS (or User? I don't know) language. Unfortunately it is unsupported, but it has worked for all the recent versions of Windows Installer released so far (I don't know how far back it works, I personally try to stay away from non-supported behaviors).
You would build localized MSIs (using your .wxl files) by linking them repeatedly using the different culture values each time, and then use the Torch tool to generate MST files (doffing your English from your localized ones), which you then use the SDK to embed into your English MSI you used each time you called torch. You would need to search for that convention. I know it has been mentioned in this list as well as on some blogs I have read. -----Original Message----- From: mahesh u [mailto:maheshu.u...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, September 04, 2009 3:34 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Query regarding Localization of Windows Installer Hi All, I read about localizing a MSI installer using Wix. It seems like I need to localize the installer by using appropriate language .wxl file during MSI package creation time itself. So, Is there any way I can localize installer UI dynamically i.e. something like when Installer starts up detect the OS language and localize it to that language?
