I don't know why that specific thing doesn't work, but if you are in the UI dialogs, then there are no .resx files installed, or resource Dlls either.
>From the MSI point of view, the big picture is that MSI files do one language at a time, typically applied at install time by specifying a transform for the specific language in the command line options.. So there is no point in having code that chooses between multiple languages when there will only be one language in the MSI being installed. You'd build a transform for that MSI file that includes localized dialogs and errors. The errors are in the Error table, so your custom action code just gets the error text from the Error table by number. That's why the DTF Session.Message call has an overload that takes an error number, meaning "just display the text associated with this error number". This is the way that MSI files are localized. There is also WiX help for localized strings for the install, see following link, but I believe that's mainly to do with building separate MSIs for each language without using transforms, but using WiX localization features instead. There's still one language per MSI. http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/howtos/ui_and_localization/make_installer_localizable.html --------------- Phil Wilson On Fri, Jul 4, 2014 at 7:42 AM, Vaghela, Rajesh <rajesh.vagh...@capgemini.com> wrote: > Hi Friends, > > I have created one custom dialog on its next it validates whether the > selected folder is system folder or not. > To achieve the above requirement I have created custom action using c#, to > this custom action selected path is being send.
