Summary

In this chapter, we discussed how to localize a WiX installer. Localization files make this task much simpler and faster, saving you from having to maintain a separate project for each language. Localization may encompass many aspects including changing the text shown in the user interface, altering the sizing and position of controls, and publishing the language that the installer supports. WiX handles all of these tasks with style.

In the next chapter, we'll cover how to plan for and perform software upgrades using WiX markup. There are a number of different types of upgrades and it pays to get to know your options early on. The good news is that WiX 3.6 has simplified the XML element you need to get the job done.
