After diving into the source code for light, I was able to answer my own question:
To override one or more of the strings in the localization file, make a copy of the WixUI_en-us.wxl file and save it in your project folder. Let's assume it is called MyUI_en-us.wxl. Edit any of the strings contained in the wxl that you wish to change. For the sake of tidiness you can delete the strings you haven't edited. If you are using Votive, then add the MyUI_en-us.wxl file to the project in Visual Studio by right clicking on the installer project and choosing Add/Existing Item... from the context menu. Select your MyUI_en-us.wxl and click OK. Rebuild the installer project and you are done. If you aren't using Votive, then you should add the MyUI_en-us.wxl to the light command line as -loc MyUI_en-us.wxl Jeff Bean wrote: > > What is the best way to customize the strings that are part of the stock > user interface contained in the WixUIExtension dll? > -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Customizing-strings-in-the-WixUIExtension-dll-tf2830787.html#a7913897 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
