When I run the below command from the command line for the WIx installer after migrated from version 2.0 to 4.0:
E:\Source\TestProgram\builder>ant -v -f Build.xml -Dlabel =.001 install
I am getting the below error:
[exec] light.exe : error LGHT0199 : The WixLocalization element has an incorrect namespace of 'WixLocalization'. Please make the WixLocalization element look like the following: . [ant] Exiting E:\Source\TestProgram1.0.1English_installer.xml.
I want to know the root cause of the error?
I checked "TestProgram1.0.1English_Installer.wxs" file for "WixLocalization" but didn't find any thing.
Pleas help me to resolve the issue.
UPDATE: wixlibs - another feature I have not used.
Bob knows everything about this, but let me chip in with a question in case the problem is something else. Just to verify, can you check all *.wxl files (localization files) in the project in question? Just to make sure the schema specified is according to what version 4 expects?:
WiX 4:
English.wxl:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WixLocalization Culture="en-us" xmlns="http://wixtoolset.org/schemas/v4/wxl">
<String Id="YOURLOCID">Your localized string</String>
</WixLocalization>
WiX 3:
English.wxl:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WixLocalization Culture="en-us" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/localization">
<String Id="YOURLOCID">Your localized string</String>
</WixLocalization>
Suggestions:
*.wxl) if it is missing for WiX 4. Either in Visual Studio or slipstream it into your batch build script.*.wxl there, maybe update the schema to <WixLocalization Culture="en-us" xmlns="http://wixtoolset.org/schemas/v4/wxl">.
