I am localizing a WPF application using LocBaml. I have successfully created the satellite assemblies and put them in their appropriate folders. I run the application from my box and it works great! Changing languages on the fly, etc. The problem is, I can't run it on any other machine but mine. I can have a co-worker compile the application on their box and I can successfully run the app from my machine mapped in, but he cannot. It is utterly perplexing. I'm sure it's got to be something so simple I'm overlooking it.

Of course, after two days of driving myself crazy it ended up being that I just needed to sign the assemblies. My app was signed with a unique key and therefore my localized assemblies needed to be signed as well. Still doesn't answer the question as to why it worked on my machine unsigned, but anyways, it works now!

I signed my new localized assemblies with the following:
sn.exe –R sv-SE\my.resources.dll my.snk
