Just answered to this implicitly in my answer to Rob's request for doc improvements. :-)

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Beginner's Question on Multi Language Installer As a suggestion for both, the WiX manual and the WiX tutorial, I want to suggest to clearly point out this, and to make a clear distinction between votive interpretation and command line interpretation. I read it several times and did not find any hint that only votive is making a difference between command and semicolon, while the command line tool does not. Thanks for clarification. :-) Regards Markus -----Original Message----- From: Blair [mailto:os...@live.com] Sent: Donnerstag, 22.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Beginner's Question on Multi Language Installer Votive (actually the MSBuild scripts) differentiates between semicolon and comma. It assumes the list separator is a semicolon and uses that to split the list into separate invocations of light.exe, ignoring the comma. If you change the default list separator character you may or may not break this implementation, I don't remember and I'm not taking the time to look it up right now. Light.exe doesn't care, it recognizes both the semicolon and the comma as separators and treats them identically. -----Original Message----- From: Markus KARG [mailto:markus.k...@gmx.net] Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2009 11:04 AM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.'

I always understood fallback in the sense of: "-cultures:de,en" what mean: "If you don't find a word in German, then print the English word". But what I am talking about is: "-cultures:de;en" (semicolon but not comma). So what acutally will light do when I provide "de,en;en"? I mean, one must understand the details to correctly use it - and I WANT to correctly use it. :-) Thanks Markus ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Come build with us!
