Hello All,I was experimenting with the Languages attribute in Wix.These are my findings:-The Language attribute for the element determines the language that would be displayed in the progress bar and the error messages.-The Language attribute for the element determines the language that gets used for the strings in the user interface and the buttons on the UI.However, i was reading the article at : http://blogs.msdn.com/b/heaths/archive/2006/10/25/how-windows-installer-uses-languages.aspx*This completely confused me.**Couple of points:*1)In the above article, the author refers to PID_TEMPLATE(Template summary property) and says that it cannot use multiple languages./ However, the documentation for Template Summary property says that multiple languages can be specified./Further, he goes on to say that:/The first language listed in PID_TEMPLATE is also registered for the product, which means this is the value returned from MsiGetProductInfo(). MsiGetLanguage() also returns this value when passed a product handle./Well i thought that the language attribute of the element gets registered for the product.2)He further goes on to say that once the package is loaded, the ProductLanguage property is used for ActionText and ErrorMessages. Well this is what i found in my experiements too, as the ProductLanguage property corresponds to the Language attribute for the element.3)After a package is loaded but before the data structures can be read, Windows Installer uses the PID_TEMPLATE property in the summary information stream. What phase of the installation is being referred to here?Questions:-What does the author mean when he talks about PID_TEMPLATE? I am assuming that he is referring to the Languages attribute under element.aAny assistance would be very much appreciated.Regards,Kiran Hegde
