It's not clear how you would write to an INI file in the Windows Directory.

If I place the IniFile section directly under a component I have an error in Candle

error CNDL0006 : The Component/@Directory attribute's value cannot be an empty string. If you want the value to be null or empty, simply remove the entire attribute.

If I try to create a directory using the WINDOWSFOLDER token then there is an error in light

error LGHT0204 : ICE18: KeyPath for Component: 'SetINIComponent' is Directory: 'WINDOWSFOLDER'. The Directory/Component pair must be listed in the CreateFolders table.

Hi Alex,

I am new with WIX and I am searching for how to make a multilingual .msi installer. Is there any way to do this?
