I've started adding multiple languages to my project using resx files (eg. MyText.resx, MyText.ru-RU.resx, etc.).

When I compile, I end up with files like this:

MyApp.exe ru-RU\MyApp.resources.dll es-ES\MyApp.resources.dll

Is there any easy way I can have everything compiled into the EXE? It's just a small utility which I distribute in a zip file, and it was nice that it didn't have tons of associated files!

I've been reading about the AssemblyLinker, but I'm not sure it does what I want. The EXE needs to behave as if those folders were there, and load the correct localisations for the users language.

You can use "Netz" to re-pack your Assemblies after compilation. They state in their helpfile that localized satellite assemblies are working seamlessly with .Net 1.1 and there is a workaround for later versions.

I eventually decided just to ship it as-is to avoid the hassle. The users don't seem to mind having all these random folders even when they're using it in English. They can always delete them with no ill-effects :)
