Help! Need to get localized string from InstallShield from MSI!

Anyone know how I can read a string from an InstallScript runnning in a MSI Custom Action?

I need to pop a SprintfBox from within the InstallScript and I want the text to be localized, not plugged in the code... How can I do this?

Thanks

I think you might be able to use the at sign (@) in front of the string ID in your InstallScript code. The string ID would be defined in the string tables in the General Information view.
