Hi,

Sorry to interject.

Can you clarify what is required in the addon bundle and the main bundle?  I 
was only putting a relatedbundle element in my addon bundle with action=addon 
and id equal to updatecode GUID of my main bundle.  I was adding nothing in my 
main bundle.

I did see some issues with using addons when upgrading main bundle (would often 
remove the addon).  Maybe I was using it wrong.  Should the Id be a unique GUID 
and then add a RelatedBundle element to main bundle with action=detect and id 
equal to that unique GUID?

Wes

Completely reasonable way to use a Bundle to deliver a language pack.
Simple add a RelatedBundle element, use an identifier in the "main" Bundle (I 
like to add a RelatedBundle with Action='detect' specifically for this
purpose) and set the Action='addon'.
