The culture (as it comes from the .wixproj file) is currently used in linking and binding, not compiling. It is possible construct the build system such that you compile just one time and then link for each culture. As a result, the preprocessor doesn't necessarily ever have a way to know what culture(s) will eventually be built.
What you need is a way to reference (component groups, perhaps) to include (or not) fragments in a culture-specific way. Let me think about this, I'm sure we can come up with a way. The way I solved this at a previous position I was in won't apply here, because they didn't use MSBuild/wix.targets to build their MSIs, so they were able to run candle once per-culture. -----Original Message----- From: Oleksandr Y.

I.e. I can specify in the Project Properties -> Build -> Cultures to Build several cultures. For example "en-US;uk-UA". After that I will receive 2 MSIs after the build. But I want to include some specific components to first MSI for en-US and some specific components to second MSI for uk-UA. The easiest way to do it is to use preprocessor directives. But I can't understand, how I can check for which culture the current build is preformed using <?if ?> operation. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
