Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some help with finding a better way than I have now for
creating language transforms for my WiX based installer project. I'd like to
be able to use pyro and torch, but I haven't been able to figure out how to
make these two tools work to create a language transform.

My current way to create the language transforms is this:

I have one product.wxs file that I include in several
product_language.wixproj files. Every product_language.wixproj
defines language specifics using a language.wxl file. I build the "neutral"
product MSI first (using the Votive VS 2008 tool), and then after each
localized project builds, I use the MSITran.exe tool to generate the
transform for each language (by way of post-build command sequences).

The build time for this is very long, since I have 16 languages and each
language MSI takes about a minute to build. I'm hoping that I can avoid
building all those localized MSI's somehow (using pyro and torch on wixout
or wixpdb files) and thereby speed up the build.

Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to shed some light on this
subject!
