[WiX-users] Customizing strings in the WixUIExtension dll

2006-12-15 Thread Jeff Bean
What is the best way to customize the strings that are part of the stock user interface contained in the WixUIExtension dll? The strings I want to change are in WixUI_en-us.wxl. As best as I can tell, when the WixUIExtension dll is built, this wxl file is included as a localization file on the li

David, They sell a COM component that can be used from just about any language, including VBScript. Here's the script I use, with some junk X'd out, and it just gets invoked from the build tool. Note I have not migrated to MSBUILD GenerateBootstapper... left as an exercise for the reader :). This

Correct me if I'm wrong - I looked at this approach. But what they sell is a dll so I then have to write a program that uses that dll to create the exe program. If they had a command line program that did this I'ld happily pay $199.00 * 3 (2 dev, I build system) for this. Thanks - dave D

I think you'd also need to check to see if the authenticated user has at minimum "log on as a service" privilege. It might not. The service could still fail to start due to other ACL problems, so all in all, it is a pretty difficult thing to get 100%. A custom action that does LogonUser would

Ok, I looked into the details because this is working for us. We use IExpress to compress everything into a single executable. You probably already have IExpress, I believe that it's part of IE. IExpress lets you specify a setup command (AppLaunched) and a post install command (PostInstallCmd).
