Well, my issues for patching just such a package like this have now been
resolved.
It seems that when you exposrt a transform made in Orca it inherits the
package's Summary Info. You might expect them to say nothing changed and
store nothing, but it seems that this data is always applied when
I have complete installs in each language. By exporting the tables in one,
then creating a transform in Orca in another I can import the tables and
save the differences. I've not found a more reliable way... providing the
source files for the builds are completely in sync of course.

This is an entirely manufactured situation for testing purposes - I don't
want to send out our first multi-language package without knowing how to
patch it. Boy, am I glad too!
We're currently looking at the language definitions and think we're going
along the right lines though.
Cheers, G
I've been thinking about your situation. How are you generating your
language transforms?

That's all interesting stuff, but I don't have a language specific patch - I
have a package that contains all the files for all languages and hope to
patch it, one patch to patch all languages. Do you think setting the
package to be of a neutral language would be beneficial?

I've hit upon a problem and thing it's to do with the defined ProductLanguage
property of my MSI, but would appreciate some advice to see if I'm chasing
the right path.
I have a package that is entirely US English, but I have several transforms
for other languages, French for example. This is

So, you've seen this behaviour before and agree that there's an MSI
limitation relating to language specific files in a multi language package?
I'm just really interested to know if the patch failures I've seen are
because of the language specifications.
