Hmm, sounds intriguing. Could you point me in the direction of some more information about this approach and/or provide an example? The WiX docs mention binder paths in "How To: Specify source files", but I wonder if there is more thorough source of information. Thanks again for your advice! _

Something else to consider: instead if using loc variables, try organizing your build location so that bind paths can be used. Then when building you can provide the appropriate bindpath on the command-line. I do this to minimize the File/@Source elements all the time. "Named base paths" can be qui

Thanks, I suppose that solution could work. Nonetheless, I feel like this should be a fairly common scenario and that there should be some way to support it using the built-in localization features. I think that this would be easy if either all of the localized source files (in my example, the Fil

You could try doing this with variables instead of localised strings. If there are a lot of these variables then you could put the command line arguments for defining them into a file and add "@filename.txt" to your command line, with a different file for each language. Rob On 15/06/2012 17:4
