Hi All,
I read about localizing a MSI installer using Wix. It seems like I need to
localize the installer by using appropriate language .wxl file during MSI
package creation time itself.
So, Is there any way I can localize installer UI dynamically i.e. something
like when Installer starts up dete

Hi Nicholas,
Looks like you're just missing the "ApplicationFolderName" definition.

details - I've included an example below that goes two levels deep

Not without replacing the WriteRegistryValues built-in action. Even then it
would be a severe violation of the component rules.
What happens is that the costing actions determine which components will be

In the past I have seen installers where the user and domain names are in

Thank you for the response and the helpful suggestions. Is there any

Are you intending to ship the merge modules to others, or are you simply
using them as a "library" for your own use?
If the latter, I would recommend wixlibs instead of merge modules. If the
former, you have to explicitly author the merge modules to support
"configuration" and/or explicitly mark s
If you check out the @Return attribute of the Custom Action element
there is an asyncNoWait type.
Indicates that the custom action will run asynchronously and execution
may continue after the installer terminates.
