#1413 wixout files are localised and can't be re-localised

The wixout files generated by light are localised to US English and cannot be re-bound to a different localisation.

The first run of light uses the following command line:
light -loc MyStrings_en-us.wxl -out "Setup.wixout" -xo -cc ".\cab" obj*.wixobj
and the second:
light -cultures:es-es;en-us -loc MyStrings_es-es.wxl -loc MyStrings_en-us.wxl -out "Setup.msi" -cc ".\cab" -reusecab "Setup.wixout"

Update: The bug is probably related to the fact the I have to supply -loc command to stop light failing resolve any of my localisation variables and generating this error:
Product.wxs(15) : error LGHT0102 : The localization variable
!(loc.ProductLanguage) is unknown. Please ensure the variable is defined.

You're running into default localization. Try the -sloc switch on Light. Unfortunately, there isn't a wix.targets property for it yet -- I'm adding that now.

I assume you meant adding -sloc to the first run of light i.e. generating the wixout file. That stops the LGHT0102 error but then when I run light again to generate the localised MSI I get this error:

light.exe : error LGHT0001 : '!(loc.SummaryCodepage)' is not a supported encoding name.
Parameter name: name

If you hard-code the codepage, is that the only error? (We localize after trying to set the summary info.)

[Bob Arnson]

I reversed the other so that loc resolution happens before the summary info stuff. That fixed it on our end.

Removing the summary info localisation stopped the error but now I get these errors for all the localisation variables:

C:\delivery\Dev\wix30_public\src\ext\UIExtension\wixlib\ErrorProgressText.wxs(17) : error LGHT0102 : The localization variable !(loc.ProgressTextInstallValidate) is unknown. Please ensure the variable is defined.

[Bob Arnson]

OK, so it's apparently not picking up the localization sets from the extension's wixlib. It works if you explicitly add the .wxl in a -loc switch.

Allow .wixouts going through the binder to get localizations from libraries in extensions
