Yes, I have a Strings1033.wxl file for my localized strings. In there I have a line: <String Id="LicenseFilename">EULA1033.rtf</String> The on the light.exe command line I add the option -loc Strings1033.wxl I have other strings in there and they work OK in other places. In fact I can put $(loc.LicenseFilename) as the text in the title bar of the license agreement dialog and that works; that is, it puts the actual filename in the title bar. It just doesn't seem to work in the 'SourceFile' attribute.

I don't think there is a good way to do this in 2.0 right now. The solution you suggested below seems like it should work as long as a value for the variable is supplied. Did you supply a value for the variable when calling light?

Sorry, forgot to mention that. I'm using version 2.0.4103. I just downloaded it a couple of days ago. -----Original Message----- From: Derek Cicerone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 09, 2006 4:59 PM To: 'jhewes'; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Localization of ScrollableText filename not working. What version of WiX are you using?

Hi, I'm new to Wix and to the list. I've been working on my installer, which needs to be multilingual. I'm using the Mondo UI. In the license agreement dialog, there are a couple of lines that define the text window that holds the text of the license agreement. It looks like this: <Control Id="LicenseText" Type="ScrollableText" X="20" Y="60" Width="330" Height="140" Sunken="yes" TabSkip="no"> <Text SourceFile="License.rtf" /> </Control> Since my license agreement text is in various languages, I have a different file for each. I wanted to modify the existing code to localize the license filename something like this: <Text SourceFile="$(loc.LicenseFilename)" /> Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work: the substitution never gets made and the linker complains that it can't find the file with filename "$(loc.LicenseFilename)". Is this my misunderstanding, a bug, or by design? If the above method cannot work, then what's the next best way to handle this? (As a last resort, I'll probably just do a file copy/rename of the license file before compiling.) Thanks!
