We've upgraded our Salford Fortran compiler to version 6.0 & I'm now getting the following warning for the run time DLL as it has no language specified in its attributes:
warning LGHT1076: ICE60: The file SALFLIBC.DLL is not a Font, and its version is not a companion file reference. It should have a language specified in the Language column. So if I add DefaultLanguage="0" (or DefaultLanguage="1033" which matches the Product Language attribute) to its File entry I then get the following warning: warning LGHT1101: The DefaultLanguage '0' was used for file 'SALFLIBC.DLL' which has no language. Specifying a language that is different from the actual file may result in unexpected versioning behaviour during a repair or while patching. Either specify a value for DefaultLanguage or put the language in the version information resource to eliminate this warning. which seems to imply that I'm causing this warning by doing exactly what the warning tells me to do to eliminate it! I don't particularly like warnings in my builds so does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve the LGHT1101 warning (which don't involve adding a Language attribute to the DLL, it's a 3rd party run time)? We use WiX v3.5.2519.0 at present.

"Failure to fix a warning reported by ICE60 generally leads to a file being needlessly reinstalled when a product repair is done. This happens because the file to be installed in the repair and the existing file on disk have the same version (they are the same file) but different languages. The file table lists the language as null, but the file itself has a language value in the resource. Based on the file versioning rules, the installer favors the file to be installed, so it is recopied needlessly." I believe the installer is using the Translation key in the VarFileInfo of the resources to get the list of languages from the already-installed version. WiX - specifically, light - is supposed to get the language information at build time, unless you have specified the -sf or -sh switches. I would not advise using these switches as they suppress ALL the version information collection, throwing you into the chaos of unversioned files (where last-installed wins). Why does Windows Installer want you to duplicate all this information in the database, when it's already in the files? To prevent it having to obtain the file (potentially a CAB download from the Internet, for HTTP MSIs) just to discover that it wasn't needed. -- Mike Dimmick -----Original Message----- From: wix-users-boun...@lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:wix-users-boun...@lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Ted Berg Sent: 02 January 2008 23:27 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] ICE60 and DefaultLanguage I am packaging third party DLLs in my .msi file. These DLLs do not contain a Language entry in their resource bundle. When I validate the MSI I get an ICE60 warning for each of these DLLs: "The file <component name> is not a Font, and its version is not a companion file reference. It should have a language specified in the Language column." If I manually add the value 1033 to the Language column for each of these entries I no longer get the validation warning. I have added a DefaultLanguage="1033" attribute to the <File/> element for each of these libraries, but this value seems to be ignored. I still get empty Language column values for these files. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
