As I thought to define two wix projects to realize my aim, I tried to define a
CustomAction in one msi to call another msi.
<Binary Id="GermanInstallMsi"
SourceFile="..SourceDir\VP6Wix.msi" />
<CustomAction Id="GermanInstall"
BinaryKey="GermanInstallMsi"
ExeCommand=""
Execute="deferred"
Return="check"
HideTarget="no"
Impersonate="no" />
Then call this action in one push button after the radio button is selected:
<Control Type="PushButton" Id="next" Width="74" Height="17" X="202"
Y="229" Text="Next" Property="USERNAME">
<Publish Event="DoAction"
Value="GermanInstall"><![CDATA[LanguageNumber = "1" ]]></Publish>
However, when I run the first msi, select one language, click the push button,
I got the error:
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This
may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2762.
The language selection dialog is called in InstallUISequence as:
<InstallUISequence>
<Show Dialog="InstallLanguageSelect" Before="CostFinalize" />
Why does the error come when I run the first msi? Could some one give me tips?
Regards,
Chunyan

Hi Rob,
Thanks to the Wix Tutorial, I learned from the SampleAskKey source code and got
to know how to use RadioButtonGroup to get the different selection value. For
example, I give the three radio buttons different value for the property and
define the push button publish even according to different property's values.
As you said, WIX doesn't support language switching. Is it possible to create
another wix project, which has different localization msi, using the push
button above to call the msi accordingly? The idea is to have two wix projects.
One is for language selection, the other one is for the real installation,
which has different localization msi versions.
How can I define the publish event for the push button in this case?
Best regards,
Chunyan

Hi Rob,
Thank you for your information. Although Wix doesn't support switching
different language packages, I think the radio button can transfer the language
selection parameter to some small program or dll, and ask it to select the
coresponding localization package and go on to do the installation.
How ever, I don't know how to transfer parameter throught radio button
selection, and what program or dll can be used in wix. Is there some example
that I can learn?
Best regards,
Chunyan

Windows Installer doesn't support that. You need to have something outside
control the language switching.
