Frankly, with multi-lingual UI support (especially
multiple preference levels in Vista - see GetSystemPreferredUILanguages) you
probably shouldn't do this at all. Allow any version to install on any system.
Allow multiple versions to be installed side-by-side, or move to a single binary
plus language packs. You might be running on a Terminal Server installed
from a localized (non-US-English) CD which supports users using a different
non-English UI language - I believe this is possible.
Michael Kaplan (GIFT team) was pretty critical when MSN
Toolbar Beta did this (http://blogs.msdn.com/michkap/archive/2005/02/03/366698.aspx).
If you want to ensure that the UI can actually be read
- that the fonts required to render it are installed - then you're asking a
different question.
Actually, it looks like you're missing a space after
$(var.LCID), which if WIX is simply doing a macro replacement could cause your
condition to be:
SystemDefaultUILanguage =
1025OR SystemDefaultUILanguage <> 1033
which won't make any sense to Windows Installer. Try
editing the MSI with Orca to see if this is what's happened.

install condition based on land ID to work… I have consulted the WIX doc’s and
my implementation seems to be correct but since it’s not working I am missing
something. We are building a Multilanguage MSI
for a small product and we wish to only allow install on the language of the MSI
AND English but not a different language. For example a Korean (KOR) MSI
should be able to install on a Korean language OS and an English (ENU) language
OS but not a German(DEU) language OS. At the same time, a DEU MSI should install
on English and German (DEU) but not on a Korean (KOR ) OS ,etc… you get the
idea. My condition statement is formatted
like this: <Condition
Message="You cannot install this version of because it is not
compatible with your language version of Windows. Obtain the language version
that matches the language version of Windows running on this
PC."><![CDATA[SystemDefaultUILanguage = $(var.LCID)OR
SystemDefaultUILanguage <> 1033]]></Condition> Var.LCID is passed in as the build
language and 1033 is of course English. What we are seeing is that the MSI’s can
install everywhere. Thanks for
help, Jeff |
