This should just work. I'm guessing you've put the Variable in a Fragment that isn't getting pulled in. Does the variable show up at the end of the log? On Fri, Apr 3, 2015 at 5:17 PM, roberthyang wrote: > This worked fine for us inside OnDetectComplete on Wix 3.8 (released > version). For ex

If you don't have a theme for the language id of the user's machine, then WixStdBALanguageId won't be set. WixStdBALanguageId is set to the language id of the theme that StdBA is actually using. On Thu, Apr 2, 2015 at 3:26 PM, David Burson wrote: > * UserLanguageID - gets the language ID for
