Re: [WiX-users] [SPAM] Re: Localizing Managed BA
Thanks Phill, my MBA is also hosted in another application. But application that hosts my MBA does not have any resources, also I do not have one resource file for each language as I use Passolo to generate satellite assemblies for me. I used one of the great features of Passolo to generate pseudo English text and trying to test it out by copying generated satellite assembly to 1032 as suggested by burn. But text always comesup in English, though I am forcing it to fallback to en-US in my assembly file. [assembly: NeutralResourcesLanguage(en-US, UltimateResourceFallbackLocation.Satellite)] What I am looking for are the instructions on how to support localization for an MBA. Any link/documentation is greatly appreciated. Were you able to resolve this issue by doing what you mentioned below?

I was just learning C# (from a C++ background) and so I was pretty green (and still am with C#). One issue that I had was that since my mba.dll is hosted in another application, there seemed to be a conflict with using the default resources.resx, as it was already used in the host application. I found that I needed to have it in my project, empty, but also add my strings to new files, in project's Properties folder mymbaUXRes.en.resx, mymbaUXRes.de.resx etc. My namespace is: company.div.app.Properties.myUXRes I also had to comment out this in my assembly file. //causes an exception when using Strings.resx //[assembly: NeutralResourcesLanguage(en-US, UltimateResourceFallbackLocation.Satellite)] -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Localizing-Managed-BA-tp7597813p7597815.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users -- Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7.

Re: [WiX-users] [SPAM] Re: [SPAM] Re: Localizing Managed BA
Thanks Phill, Yes I tried with en-US as that is how I did for my other C#/.Net assemblies that works. Then I came across an article that talks about using Decimal identifiers for languages, but I guess that is only for wix translations! I am sure there must be something I am missing, which is causing my satellite assembly not getting loaded. Let me try changing my Resources.resx to something else. -Original Message- From: Phill Hogland [mailto:phogl...@rimage.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2014 4:03 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] [SPAM] Re: [SPAM] Re: Localizing Managed BA There are different approaches to doing localization in a managed context, and since this is a .Net issue and not specifically related to WiX I did not find a specific document with steps on how to do it. Yes I localize my mba for en, de, es, it, ja, and zh. My approach was a little different than yours but I think the core issues remains the same. I am not using satellite DLLs. My resource strings are embedded resources. Even so a wix mba DLL gets loaded into a host provided by wix. And while it was about a year ago that I got this stuff working, and I was very knew to C# at the time and may not have understood what I was doing, I had to define a different namespace for my strings 'myRes', rather than using the default 'resources' namespace which already existed. ILSpy was helpful in sorting that out. I think Sean had a good suggestion (with documentation).

[WiX-users] Localizing Managed BA
Hi, I am trying to support localization for my Managed BA. I generated pseudo localized satellite assembly for en-US. Modified bundle.wxs to include satellite resource dll Payload SourceFile=..\Translation\lib\Release\en-US\Agilent.OpenLAB.Installation.resources.dll Name=1033\Agilent.OpenLAB.Installation.resources.dll/ But I get the error when I run my BA (See below). What am I doing wrong? I even tried to build my BA with compressed property set to no on the resource dll payload to see if the file is copied to language specific folder, but that didn't work either.
