I have my bundle building under WiX 3.8 and yes on Windows 8 Professional with German selected as the default language, the bundle showed my localized German strings without the need for the -lang switch.
I have yet to implement Neil's suggestion to create a localized variable in my wxl files which will be passed to the MsiProperty as the name of the transform, but I am sure that approach will also work. Sorry for the delay in reporting back. Knowing this now I probably did not need to go down the path of integrating with the WixExtendedBootstrapperApplication, but I suspect I will need some of those features (like the two browse paths) eventually. And since I previously created a BalExtension based on Neil's sample code to generate a version number at build time, I had to do a little reorganization of my project when I converted it to Wix 3.8. So in Wix 3.8 I found that I could change to using the WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.HyperlinkLargeLicense and all I needed to do was change the variables "WixExtbaLicenseUrl", "WixExtbaThemeXml", and "WixExtbaThemeWxl" to: "WixStdbaLicenseUrl", "WixStdbaThemeXml", and "WixStdbaThemeWxl". I did not find where this was documented in the Wix 3.8.722.0 documentation, but when the linker complaiined using the new name I figured out the issue. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/My-experiences-making-a-multi-language-bundle-tp7208949p7587980.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!
