Let's forget about the Windows Forms portion. I apologize for throwing that into the mix and confusing things.
What I am about to say only applies if a .NET dependency is detected and the UI is displayed for that. * I have been able to customize the .NET installation GUI using a .thm file and I have been able to customize the text displayed by providing an "English.wxl" file. But under the hood it is Burn's GUI that I am using for the .NET installation - NOT my own. * I can provide a "French.wxl" file INSTEAD of the English.wxl file and I can view the .NET installer I have customized in French. * This tells me that accessing and changing values for localization variables for the .NET installer GUI works. * What I CAN'T do is supply a "French.wxl" file with French implementations of the localization variables IN ADDITION to supplying the English.wxl file. Doing so produces the error in the original post. Oh, I just realized something based on the last line of your most recent reply that may be causing confusion: "In any case, I thought that Burn hid the .NET installer and only presented your custom BA to the user?" Burn is NOT hiding the .NET installer if it detects a dependency. All of my custom bootstrapper is written in C# and .NET must be present for it to work. When .NET needs to install, it brings up the GUI provided by WiX for installing .NET. However, I use a .thm file and .wxl file (hopefully multiple .wxl files that are localized) to customize the appearance of the .NET installer GUI. When .NET finishes installing, then Burn moves on to the GUI of my custom managed bootstrapper. (This last bit is beyond the scope of what I am asking however. I am just interested in dealing with the issue of Burn properly picking up the localizations that I am trying to provide it for the .NET installer.)

Do I have this right? * You have a dependency on .NET 4 * You used the WiX .NET extension in your Burn bootstrapper to install .NET if it isn't already installed * For the portion of the install (after .NET is installed) that applies to your own software, you've written a custom BA using Windows Forms. For that, you've handled the localization yourself in a way that works. * You're trying to figure out how to localize the .NET installer? You've found source code for it? And it has a .wxl file? I'm not sure if I'm getting all of that right. In any case, I thought that Burn hid the .NET installer and only presented your custom BA to the user? ________________________________ If you reply to this email, your message will be added to the discussion below: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Burn-Localization-Identifiers-Duplicated-tp7586776p7586871.html To unsubscribe from Burn - Localization Identifiers Duplicated, click here<http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=unsubscribe_by_code&node=7586776&code=bWFya3ZAY29zdGFyLmNhfDc1ODY3NzZ8MTMzNzA0NTMxNw==>.
