After 1 week of struggling with WiX, I am ready to give up. This is my last
attempt to save the time I have spent with it.

 

My project:

 . Install a product that has a VB6 application and a .Net 2.0 application.

 . Install all required run times (It Just Works style)

 . Works for English (en), Brazilian Portuguese (pt-BR) and Standard
Portuguese (pt-PT)

   - Doesn't install English .Net over a Brazilian operating system, etc.

 

What I found out:

. The Visual Studio bootstraper doesn't deploy non-english files and there
is no way to add packages for other languages/MS doesn't provide them

. There is not bootstraper in WiX, so we are advised to use something like
NSIS (which is what I was running away from)

 

 

Does anybody have any experience with developing installers for multiple
cultures?

Any advices? Website links? 

Should I head back to NSIS?

 

 

Thank you very much.

Joel Paula
