I've seen it work fine with both Traditional and Modern sort LCIDs (for Spanish, anyway). In fact, for all the ones I tested (back on Server 2003, XP, and Vista, anyway) all the Spanish LCIDs I tested (including neutral) worked.
Neutral Chinese comes out backwards between NLS and .NET (traditional characters instead of simplified characters) and a couple of the newer "Unicode-only" LCIDs (LCIDs for which there is no default codepage) didn't work with SUBLANG_NEUTRAL at all (some of the newer languages from India added in XP, for instance). You need to be explicit with Norwegian, I don't remember which character set is assumed if you attempt using SUBLANG_NEUTRAL with LANG_NORWEGIAN, so it's best to be explicit. Same with Serbian and Croatian. Back to Chinese, I noticed that SUBLANG_CHINESE_TRADITIONAL and SUBLANG_CHINESE_SIMPLIFIED work only if you specify them from native code, but if you use the culture string for them .NET gives you values for the LCID that don't work on at least one of the platforms we required back then (not sure why .NET gives bad LCID values). Also, some of the lesser-used languages were not recognized at all by Server 2003 even though XP did recognize them, which meant we couldn't build them in our build lab. I never checked to see if Server 2008 has parity with Vista, and I have been lead to understand that 2008 R2 has parity with Windows 7, but I haven't tested or otherwise verified it. Speaking of "Unicode-only" languages: if you get rid of your Windows Installer/WiX UI, we were able to use UTF8 for the codepage of the database without any problems, but you CANNOT set packa...@summarycodepage to UTF8: Windows Installer will report a corrupt installation package. Thus, for Unicode-only cultures, you must use some other language (English?) for every string set via the Package element. We just set that to 0 (7-bit ASCII) and put just English text there and called it good. There are some great blogs on Windows and internationalization that are worth checking to work around some issues, etc. Blair -----Original Message----- From: Tobias S [mailto:tobias.s1...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2011 9:53 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
