Hi, Thanks to the list, I am down to one last step on my installer (for an opensource product). I'm building a multi-language installer using the specially named transform storage method ( http://www.installsite.org/pages/en/msi/articles/embeddedlang/index.htm). For the application, we have a language definition file that contains the localized strings for each language, and a single file that represents the active language. I would like to offer the user a drop down of available languages (defaulted to the current UserLanguageID) and then copy the relevant file to the active language file.
I could do this with a custom action, and accept that I will need one to map the UserLanguageID to our filename, However, reading the "custom action = admission of failure", I'm sure there must be a way to copy a user-specified installed file? CopyFile seems to either copy a single installed file (given a fixed FileId), or a user selected file (ie from a property) that already exists before install? If I do need a custom action to do the whole thing, am I better to add a temporary row to one of the tables, or just copy the file in the custom action? I was thinking of installing a default (e.g. english) file as part of the install, so the file will be removed correctly on uninstall. Many thanks for any pointers, Dave. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
