I am looking for advise in localising installs. 

 

I need to deploy an application in several languages and I thought I had
the solution, what I did was this:

1.       Set the CAB file as not embedded as the files are the same for
all languages.

2.       Run candle for wxs files

3.       Run light against the wixobj files but specifying a different
culture each time I ran it 

4.       This creates an msi for each language with an external CAB
file.

 

This works but I have just noticed a major problem, each time I run
light it generates a new product and package code (I use the Guid="*"
syntax for them). So this means that each language has a different
product/package code and this is clear not really correct.

 

Can anyone suggest a better method for doing this? Ideally I would like
to generate one msi and then run some command to generate a transform
for each language.

 

Thanks

 

Neil
