Hi Zong,
I think you can try to search for the answer in the wix*.targets files (in
c:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX\v3.5\ folder). Here is a description of
the "AssignCultures" target which seems to set the output folder for each
culture.
"
AssignCultures
Determines the final list of culture groups to build based on either the
Cultures property or
those specified in .wxl files.
Culture groups specified in the Cultures property must be specified as a
semi-colon
delimited list of groups, with comma-delimited cultures within a group.
For example:
<Cultures>en-US,en;en-GB,en</Cultures>
This will build 2 targets, outputing to en-US and en-GB sub-folders.
Light will first look
for strings in the first culture (en-US or en-GB) then the second (en).
Cultures of .wxl files will be used when the Culture property is not set.
The culture of a
.wxl file is determined by the Culture attribute in the WixLocalization
element in the file
Sets the OutputFolder metadata on each culture group. In most cases this
is the same as the
first culture in the culture group. When the Culture's property is
unspecified and no .wxl
files are provided this is the same as the output directory. When the
Culture's property
specifies a single culture group and no .wxl files are provided this is the
same as the output
directory.
Updates the TargetPath and TargetPdbPath properties to be used in
subsequent targets.
[IN]
@(EmbeddedResource) - The list of wxl files to use for localization.
$(Cultures) - The list of culture groups to build.
[OUT]
@(CultureGroup) - The list of culture group strings with OutputFolder
metadata
$(TargetPath) - Property list of target link output MSIs/MSMs
$(TargetPdbPath) - Property list of target output pdbs

Subject: [WiX-users] How to set custom output folder for MSI wix project
Hi,
Does anyone know how to set a custom output folder for a MSI wix project? I
have a pretty standard wix MSI project, it outputs to en-us,fr-fr, de-de folder
automatically, however in order to be consistent with other projects, I would
like to output the msi file to en, fr, de folder. Of course, I can do a
post-build processing, like copy it from en-us to en folder, then delete the
en-us folder. But beside this solution, is there another way to do this? Any
input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Zong
