[WiX-users] UserLanguageID vs. WixStdBALanguageId

2015-04-02 Thread David Burson
* UserLanguageID - gets the language ID for the current user locale. * WixStdBALanguageId - gets the language in effect for the WixStdBA user interface. When would these have different values? I’m wondering if, since WixStdBALanguageId is new in v3.10, can I use UserLanguageID with v3.9

Every decent installer comes with command line arguments documentation. You should ask the supplier or browse their web site for command line options for silent install / repair / uninstall. It really shouldn't matter if it was packaged with WinZip or any other tool. The harder bit is usually

I guess the only issue is that when you extract their package, that in addition to the setup.exe file, there are 35 folders and 208 supporting files. I believe I misspoke when I said that I could use Burn to repackage this into a single file (because I would just run into the same issue I have

What did you copy and past them into? A wxl file has an header that specifies the code page. If you also create string entries for the Codepage, you can then use the wxl string entries to set the Product/@Language=!(loc.LCID) and the Package/@SummaryCodepage=!(loc.SummaryCodepage). Something

Thank you Rob for the quick reply. Just to be clear, this package that I am bundling is not mine, but is provided by a 3rd party. It is also quite large (at about 70 MB) and so it would be nice if it would download only on demand when its not yet already installed. Are my options essentially:

Or just download and extract their self-extracting installer, extract it, and place it on a web server you control (no need to bundle it). Then in your bundle you just reference that payload. You're still going to have to update your bundle when you decide to release/approve an updated

I would let Burn do all the downloading but if you can't just create process the package, then you'll have to write something that can be create processed then do the multiple steps. For example, how would Burn know what to do here? It's all custom... which basically comes down to Don't do
