Microsoft Platform SDK contains an example of setup.exe with source codes.

To obtain the appropriate default LANGID for the setup.exe, use one of the following function. GetUserPreferredUILanguages in Vista GetUserDefaultUILanguage in Windows Me, Windows 2000 or later GetUserDefaultLangID in Windows 98 As the availability of functions are depends on the system, use GetProcAddress from kernel32.dll for function pointer and use the best available function. (better not to use GetOSVersion explicitly in this case) Once you get the LANGID(x), and among the LANGID(y) values available in your setup (MSI files), find the best match of the language by finding: 1. Exact match (x == y) 2. Same primary language id PRIMARYLANGID(x) == PRIMARYLANGID(y), except for some languages, which cannot be substituted by PRIMARYLANGID, e.g. Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese should be not treated as an alternative. Once you find the best 'y' value: 1. If you have language transforms, use MST for 'y' 2. Or launch separate MSI for 'y' Chesong Lee -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Petrut Andrei Sent: Friday, August 25, 2006 9:35 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Bootstrapper that detects the system language Tell me please how to create a bootstrapper that detects the system language.
