Julie, If you only have one language resource, you should not have to rely on sattelites. Did you set the Assembly::NeutralResourcesLanguage("en-US", UltimateResourceFallbackLocation.MainAssembly)
Otherwise you could have a sub directory relative to your exe where the satellite assembly resides. (that should make the GAC step not nescearry) It should look like this \app\app.exe \app\en-US\app.resources.dll \app\en-UK\app.resources.dll Did you also verify that the AssemblyCulture attribute is set? The main assembly is a .dll? Or is it an .exe? Are you only using managed code?

The resources (embedded) didn't migrate so well. We don't do any localization (English installs only), but I can't figure out how to get rid of the "no resources for the specified culture or the neutral culture could be found" message. The resources are in a .resx file. This isn't a WiX issue, but if someone in the know could answer this, it would save the grief on the WiX part. The resource localization seems to be a VS 2003->2005 "improvement" that a lot of people have struggled with. I found lots of questions, few answers. I did figure out how to convert the .resx -> .resources -> satellite assembly. I can't figure out how to get it installed though. The satellites seem to need the main assembly to be in the gac first. The main assembly needs to be gac'd and regasm'd with the /tlb flag. I can get the end user application to behave correctly by doing all the regasm and gac work by hand after the main install, but obviously I can't deploy that.
