When this gets solved, I will leave behind detailed info on how to make it work in a final post.  In addition there will be the "struggle" along the way in this thread.  Hopefully these things should clear up any future confusion.

Subject: Re: Burn - Localization Identifiers Duplicated

I have not personally localized a bundle.  The hints and pointers I am giving you are based off of the current Wix codebase.  Wix has had several generations of developers and the documentation is less than perfect.  (It's open source, so anyone is welcome to contribute more documentation / how to's).

When you start your bundle, if you look in the temp folder there should be a randomly created GUID folder (sort by last created) and in it a .ba1 folder. In it do you see your LCID sub folders along with the wxl files? If so, is their content unique/expected? The only other question I would have is with the .Net prereq UX up, by chance is there a .ba or .ba2 folder. (I just thought of this but the .Net UX may have its own folder to isolate it from possible file name colisions.)

I have tried these suggestions too and I have, again, tried variations on them - all to no avail.  Here is the current iteration:

    <WixVariable Id="PreqbaThemeXml" Value="MyPReq.thm" />
    <WixVariable Id="PreqbaThemeWxl" Value="Preqba.wxl" />
    <BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="ManagedBootstrapperApplicationHost">
      <Payload SourceFile="$(var.ProjectDir)MyPReq.thm" SuppressSignatureVerification="yes" />
      <Payload SourceFile="$(var.ProjectDir)en-ca\EnglishCA.wxl" Name="4105\Preqba.wxl" SuppressSignatureVerification="yes" />
      <Payload SourceFile="$(var.ProjectDir)en-us\EnglishUS.wxl" Name="1033\Preqba.wxl" SuppressSignatureVerification="yes" />
      <Payload SourceFile="$(var.ProjectDir)fr-ca\FrenchCA.wxl" Name="3084\Preqba.wxl" SuppressSignatureVerification="yes" />
    </BootstrapperApplicationRef>

I changed all my localization folders to be lowercase (en-us instead of en-US) in case something in WiX was case-sensitive.  Other than that my config is the same as listed in a previous post:

> Then, in my project dir I have the 3 folders en-ca, en-us, fr-ca each with the appropriate .wxl file as shown above.  They are all added to my project and I have tried setting the .wxl files as EmbeddedResource and as Content and they are all DoNotCopy.  In the Linker I have "-cultures:en-ca -cultures:en-us -cultures:fr-ca"

I have confirmed that it is grabbing the default Preqba.wxl file that I am including in the project directory.  I changed a value in it and that is what it displays regardless of the regional setting.  If I remove it from the project directory then it does not build because the file is missing.  I appreciate you all taking the time to help me out here and in no way is the next question intended as a criticism.  I notice that you have been saying things like, "As I understand it..." and "I think that..." etc.  Is there anyone out there who has actually got this to work in any project?  Any of the WiX development team or Rob or anyone else?

Again, I don't mean that to staunch  your suggestions, please, keep them coming, I will try anything at this point.  It just continues to surprise me that no one has a definitive answer to this.  I will be the first to acknowledge that I think the likeliest issue is in my code, but is this a bug in Burn?

As I understand it, in the Name attribute you need to use the LCID instead of the culture name.

For instance: <Payload Sourcefile="$(var.ProjectDir)zh-tw\TraditionalChinese.wxl" Name="1028\Preqba.wxl" ... /> where 1028 is the LCID for the culture known as zh-tw.

> OK, I have tried some different variations on Blair and Jacob's suggestions.  None have worked and there has been varying degrees of success.  The most successful correctly displayed the default Preqba.wxl entries that I have defined (which are in English but my regional settings are fr-CA) but did not display the French file I have defined.  I will show you the code:

This had not previously occurred.  It is as though it is trying to show 2 different values simultaneously for a localization variable.  Hmm... only did that once.  When I ran it again it was normal (as far as the grayed out text).
