Re: [WiX-users] Conditionally installing components based on user'slocale

2007-06-07 Thread Scott Palmer 

I realize that the language ID can identify a language down to the dialect
of a specific region, but I still don't think the language ID is the
appropriate property to check to determine location information.  A user my
have set the language to American English but still be located in Japan.
Surely there is a way to get the region setting independent from the
language.

 Well, the UserLanguageID doesn't just give you the language but also the

Here are some other system properties you can use if UserLanguageID isn't
the right one:

Thanks, but I need to know the country and I don't really care about the
language.  I will have many systems where the language may be set to English
but I will need different values in the registry.

As part of my setup I would like to write
certain registry values depending on the country setting of the OS.
E.g. for North American users I might set a registry value to 1, for
European users the value would be set to 2. 

Is there an easy way to do this without writing
a custom action?
Failing that, is there a custom action that can
be written easily?


Thanks,

Scott
