Use British English in Installer #17

Description

@watfordjc

I am British. I use British English.

My code might disagree - for reasons spanning back to ~1996 I have tended to use American English for class/property names and British English for variable names. It all goes back to my first HTML page and typing BGCOLOR.

I have tried switching the localisation of the installer to en-gb, but it required a new <WixLocalization /> XML file covering every localisation variable. After I went through all 1,700+ lines in the en-us localisation file and amended the spellings, compilation failed due to ICE31 and ICE17.

  • ICE31: Can't style title bar text of some dialog boxes for some reason (it allegedly can't be styled).
  • ICE17: Missing Icon/Bitmap or something - hard to tell exact error as it is looks like an unescaped single quote ate it. Error is something like"[Icon/Bitmap][space][apostrophe]".

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if there is a bug in Wix Toolset. Fixing this bug will require some investigative work diving into how Wix Toolset, WixUI, and Windows Installer all work, so for now the installer uses American English.
