How you condition the Japanese and English resources are up to you. Both must be in the CAB(s) if you intend to use a transform to supply the "translated" installation package that way, and so the file table must be the same for both original packages.
You could make them separate features, or you could just condition the resource files' components directly. You will get ICE errors if your resource files cannot be (in theory, anyway) written side-by-side (either they should be in different directories or they should have different names). -----Original Message----- From: Andy2k8 [mailto:appr...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 08, 2009 11:48 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] File table won't get transformed Thanks for that info. So if i add the japanese resources also to the file table it should work fine? Or should i create a separate feature that refers to the japanese resources and add a feature installation condition that check for the japanese locale?
