Wix Bootstrapper multi-language

Question

I have a Wix installation set up. I am using Wix Bootstrapper to make windows. All installation windows are made by their own. I need to localize them, I can not solve this question in any way.

Answer 1

Not a lot of time, this will just be a bunch of links, hopefully enough for you to help yourself.

WiX Burn localization: Maybe have a look at this project on github for localization of your WiX Bundle (which I haven't really tried yet - this is someone else's sample): https://github.com/frederiksen/Classic-WiX-Burn-Theme.

I don't think this sample has localized MSI files, just the WiX Bundle. I am not sure.

MSI Localization: WiX has some support for standard dialog sets in a number of languages, but you need to localize your own, custom dialogs. I have seen some problems with these dialogs, but I usually get things working using the "Mondo" set.

I lack a full overview, but let me try to give you some pointers:

WiX Tutorial:

• Localizing your custom setup dialogs
• User Interface In General
• Localization
• User Interface revisited
• More on custom dialogs

WiX Documentation:

• How To: User Interface and Localization
• WixUI Dialog Library

Using WixUIExtension (standard UI):

• What else do I need to show the license aside from WixUILicenseRtf? (no Visual Studio)
• WiX installer msi not installing the Winform app created with Visual Studio 2017 (Visual Studio)

IsWiX: Just trowing this is - I don't think there is much localization here, but there are some sample test projects that are useful. Also, you can find more advanced WiX samples and tutorials from the IsWix project. Essentially a GUI front end for generating WiX MSI files. Here are the actual tutorials. And the tool itself: https://github.com/iswix-llc/iswix. And the blog.
