Thanks all for your quick replies. Turned out to be a simple authoring error in
my WiX source file masquerading as something far more interesting. The dll
dependency trackers look interesting, Rennie - will have to take a couple for a
spin.
Cheers,
Cathy.

and the custom action has that requirement, you could change the project
settings to "Use MFC in a Static Library" that way the dll is a bit bigger but
the dependecy disappears.
Hope it helps,
Ricardo Lopes.

Subject: [WiX-users] does wix have a dependency on mfc80loc.dll?
I'm writing a wix-based installer to replace our current (home-grown)
installation solution.
I've got the functionality I want, but I seem to have picked up a
requirement for mfc80loc.dll. That is, if I install using the old install
scripts, our software runs fine. If I install using the WiX authored
installer, MFC apps fail to run, and the event log shows errors that start
with a missing mfc80loc.dll.
My googling of this dll leads me to believe it shouldn't be required for our
situation - ie: we only expect to install to English language Windows boxen.
(If this sounds draconian, please consider that at present we're installing
to a very limited number of clients, and we know their situation very
precisely).
Is there a known issue about this? Is it possible that WiX is modifying my
system's locale information? If this is the case, it may be driven by my own
naive use of WiX. I specify a language attribute in the "Product". Is there
any other locale information I need to specify to install to an US/English
box?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
