[wix-users] [EXTERNAL] - Re: Language condition on file?

[Lewis Henderson]

Hi Guys,

While I'm certainly not the expert some others (like Phill) are, this sounds like you might use culture-specific files included in a set of culture-specific features (or possibly components), that are enabled or selected based on the culture chosen for the install.  Does that make sense?

I currently have an installer that has an option to install French language files in addition to the default English, but the selection is based on a checkbox dialog.  Not the same, but perhaps a similar situation.

Or another approach is to have a single WiX setup project, in which you specify multiple cultures, as you indicated, but in the MediaTemplate element specify an external cab.

Then in the MsiPackage element used in a bundle chain (or through some
script) change the name of each msi to include the culture in the name of the msi and copy the msi and the cab for each language to a common output folder.

This results in an output folder which contains a single cab file (as the cab in each batch build is identical) and culture named msi files.

I have not tried your suggested approach of conditionally including culture specific files but I assume it may be possible.  I use the above approach.
