Hi Blair,
Thanks for the info. Now I understand the string "Are you sure you want to uninstall this product?" is from shell. Does it mean we can't customize this string, correct?

I don't know exactly which .dll the string would be in, but it is still Windows). User's language = the language that the user's shell is setup to use. In some SKUs of Windows you can add languages and can set each login to use a different language.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] The untranslated string in uninstallation Thanks Blair! Yes, that string shows when I click "Remove" from ARP. You said "that come from the shell", what do you mean shell? You also said, "..is in the user's language", do you mean it is in the .wxl file? Then what is the string ID for it? I doesn't seem to find it.

That comes from the shell, and is in the user's language. Is it the string you see when you run msiexec /x <ProductCode> or msiexec /x <package-path.msi>? That also comes in the user shell's language (it comes from Windows Installer itself), and it is shown even before any data about the product/package is read (the MSI file isn't even accessed yet). -----Original Message----- From: little.forest [mailto:little.for...@ymail.com] Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2009 5:30 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] The untranslated string in uninstallation The string in uninstallation: "Are you sure you want to uninstall this product?" This string is always in English. Is it possible to translate it to other languages? I can't find it in the language file WixUI_en-us.wxl. Or it may be provided by MSI service?
