Thanks for reply Blair. My shortcut points to a managed exe instead of a native exe. Can I use a native resource dll for DisplayResourceDll in this way:
<Component ... Directory="InstallDir"> <File Source="ManagedCode.exe"/> <Shortcut Id="MainEntry" Target="[#ManagedCodeExeFileId]" WorkingDirectory="InstallDir" Name="Product" DisplayResourceId="102" DisplayResourceDll="[#NativeResourceDLLFileID]"/> </Component> <Component ... Directory="InstallDir"> <File Id="NativeResourceDLLFileID" Source="NativeResource.dll"/> </Component> <Component ... Directory="InstallDir-en-US"> <File Source="en-US\NativeResource.dll.mui"/> </Component> <Component ... Directory="InstallDir-es-ES"> <File Source="es-ES\NativeResource.dll.mui"/> </Component> Thanks. Regards Leon On Mon, Jan 18, 2010 at 5:55 PM, Blair <os...@live.com> wrote: > Sample code.
