Thanks for the help Sam. Yes, I read your other thread (which was VERY helpful, by the way). So far your comments are the same as mine. Over the next week or two I'll find out if there are any more issues that you haven't commented on, and I'll be sure to follow up in the thread.

You've already worked this out, but for anyone else who hasn't--when you set the WixStdBaLicenseRTF WixVariable, you are just overriding the @SourceFile of the license Payload that is implicitely included when you add your BootstrapperApplicationRef; the @Name remains "license.rtf". So if you want a per-theme license file, you have to call it "LCID \license.rtf" where LCID is the locale ID. The same goes for WixStdbaThemeWxl ("thm.wxl") and WixStdbaThemeXml ("thm.xml"). But when you have a per-locale theme file, there is one additional caveat to be aware of: > Looking at them makes me think that the "thm.xml" is also correct, but > whenever I do this the installer doesn't seem to work: > invoking with -lang <LCID with custom theme> does nothing and exits > immediately. Has anyone been able to load a thm.xml per language? I am guessing your themes refer to "logo.png". If you don't include a logo.png file in the per-LCID directory, the bootstrapper will log something like "failed to create theme controls") to the installation log and exit without presenting any UI to the user. Either provide a logo.png Payload in each LCID directory, or modify your per-LCID themes to refer to "..\logo.png" so that they get the default logo. BTW, I figured this out with Process Monitor from SysInternals. An invaluable tool for diagnosing such issues! I recently posted some of the other problems I had to work around in creating a localized bundle; you can read it at <http://www.mail- archive.com/wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg49035.html>. I'd be interested to hear if you can add anything that I missed out. -- Sam Morris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
