Re: [WiX-users] How to determine current culture in WiX preprocessor

The culture (as it comes from the .wixproj file) is currently used in linking and binding, not compiling. It is possible construct the build system such that you compile just one time and then link for each culture. As a result, the preprocessor doesn't necessarily ever have a way to know what cult
