Oh wow... Right now we just change it in our build script when calling
light:
light <parameters> -dWixUILicenseRtf=SupportFiles/License_${language}.rtf
<more parameters>
Which is also unnecessarily kludgy; that information really should be in the
localization file but at the time I didn't figure out how (that blog entry
was written after I wrote the setup project...).
Your solution is better except that it involves modifying WiX source code.
Any chance this might be added to a future version of WiX? This common task
seems needlessly complicated. Maybe the change would break compatibility,
but on the other hand the status quo of modifying WiX source code doesn't
seem any better to me!
Unless there is a better way that neither of us know about??
