How to load string for installshild string stable?
Hi all,
In my installaion, i used a custom action popup a messagebox dialog. And now I wanna support different languages in installation UI. That means I need to popup different languages in that messagebox dialog.
In premier version of installshild 2008, it build-in many string table for different languages. Can I load corresponding string from those string table in my custion action?
Any one have idea? Thanks a lot!

You might look into creating a localizable property in the Property Manager view; you can then get the property in the usual way from your custom action (MsiGetProperty, Session.Property, etc.) and the value will be taken from the appropriate string table.
(It has nothing to do with localizable properties specifically, but keep in mind that you'll need to go through CustomActionData if you're trying to get a property from a deferred-mode custom action.)
