Just to make sure there's no confusion here, Windows does NOT use that uninstallstring in Add/Remove Programs. Change it if you like and see that it has no effect.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Uninstall question Try this Run the command MSIEXEC /X Notice the same message. No installer is involved. Message is coming from MSIEXEC.EXE or other Windows components associated with it. Message is not coming from an installer. It's using a slightly different code path depending on where you run it from (Command line versus ARP) but the story is the same. Any localization of that string I'd think would come from the localized version of Windows itself. -----Original Message----- From: Leung, John C.H. [mailto:johnle...@ea.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2010 3:13 PM To: WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Uninstall question I understand that the uninstall information is store in registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\< ProductGUID> And the uninstall string is store in value "UninstallString". If I actually execute that command (which is "MsiExec.exe /X{---MyGUID---}), I would get a dialog box asking "Are you sure you want to uninstall this product?". I'm wondering are there any way that dialog box can be localized? On an XP machine, I notice that if I used the "Add or Remove Programs" to do the uninstall, I would actually get a different dialog box text: "Are you sure you want to remove <Product Name> from your computer?" Does anyone know why it would be different between the two uninstall approach? Are there anything I need to do in the WiX setup to make the two consistent?
