Re: [WiX-users] Conditionally installing components based on user's locale
You’ll need a CustomAction, but probably only the really simple Type 51 (e.g. Property set). Take a look at SystemLanguageID property from the MSI SDK and you might condition your Type 51 CustomAction.

Re: [WiX-users] Conditionally installing components based on user's locale
Sorry, I can't provide source of custom action, it's company property. You can use combination of localle and time zone settings. Of course user is free to set it to anything. There is no guarantee. I wrote simple wix script in other post if it will be of any help.

Re: [WiX-users] Conditionally installing components based on user's locale
Actually, I didn't even have to write custom action. Just some WiX script. Something like this: . . . . (SystemLanguageID=1033) OR (SystemLanguageID=4105) NOT ((SystemLanguageID=1033) OR (SystemLanguageID=4105)) Hope this will help.

Re: [WiX-users] Conditionally installing components based on user's locale
I wrote custom action in a DLL which identifies country (specifically North America or Europe) and saves result in a WiX property (it uses MSI API to store property into the table). Then I use this property in component conditions Scott Palmer-3 wrote: > > As part of my setup I would like to write certain registry values > depending > on the country setting of the OS.
