[WiX-users] make a msi for all locales using MUI

2009-07-25 Thread Lian Jiang
Hi, My wix project (*.wixproj), which is built by msbuild, generates an msi for each locale. For example, one for en-us, one for es-es. Can I make a msi using MUI? In other words, I want to make only onee msi which is for all locales. Thanks for any hints. Lian -
