Hello all, I have been trying to create a foreach loop to make a few Properties, CustomActions, and CustomTable rows for each item in the list.

Hello there. I've been in your situation not long ago and thanks to the list and to a lot of web research I think I discovered some important facts about this: - MSI technology "supports" (not officially) some kind of multilanguage as detailed in the first links Tobias sent. Yet this has importan

Hi Helge, Please consider e.g. http://www.installsite.org/pages/en/msi/articles/embeddedlang/index.htm (also available in German ;-) ). There is discussed an approach without bootstrapper (think also with a discussion about the needed transform generation): http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset

Hi Phil, there was a ongoing discussion about the topic and think somebody used another subject and therefore googlemail started a new "thread". There is some additional information. Regarding the VCredist I think that could be an alternative option to the merge modules as stated in http://msdn.m

Hi Umesh, Thanks a lot for the idea. The problem seemed to have been resolved after we switched the custom actions that initialize the target folder values to type 35 (setting a directory value) from type 51 (setting a property value) and schedule them after CostFinalize. Thanks, Miaohsi

Thanks Phil & Tobias. I've followed Phil advice and checked out the WinSxS folder. There the installer modified as recommended in the WiX 3.5 documentation does create files that seem related to VC++ redistributable. I actually took an empty VM without the redistributable and installed the app. The

I think you need a custom action for that. The WiX group element can only search groups and not create new ones according to the documentation. It can however add new or existing users to an existing group. > From: rahu...@microsoft.com > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Fri, 29 Apr
