The official recommendation if you want to create one package supporting multiple languages is to create a language-neutral package and have a bootstrapper/chainer apply an appropriate language transform before launching the package. So you'll have product.msi, setup.exe, and many langXXXX.mst transforms. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
