Re: [WiX-users] language specific wixlibs

You didn’t specify a culture for light to use, so it didn’t load any localization strings from the library.  Since wix libraries may contain multiple languages of localized strings, the culture is necessary to pick one.  In this case, you’d probably want “en-us”.   Derek   From:

Re: [WiX-users] Should WiX add support for installing Windows instrumentation features?

0.  I think there is a great opportunity to create a WixManagementExtension for v3.  It would be like the other WiX v3 extension.  I wouldn't try to add it to WiX v2, the improved v3 platform makes it far easier.   1.  We talked about writing an Event extension in the past.  As you noted,
