If the payloads weren't laid out correctly, shouldn't selecting the language
explicitly via -lang fail as well (as I wrote, this works perfectly)?
Since the official WiX documentation describes localizing the standard
bootstrapper application rather sparsely, the layout may be indeed not correct.
Here is the respective snippet from my wxs:

The folder 'Resources' contains language-neutral resources, such as the layout
and the background image. Within there are subfolders named like the respective
LCID, i.e. '1033' for English, '1031' for German, ...
Does this explain anything?
Kind regards.
Or maybe your Payloads in the BootstrapperApplication are not laid out
correctly?

Just for curiosity, I set the title string resource:
String Id=Title[WixBundleName] [UserLanguageID]
[SystemLanguageID]/String
It says Name 1031 1031, however the GUI is still in English. So WiX
seems to totally ignore the regional settings, or the probing code is not
correct.
What's wrong here?
It probes like this:
Root of BA\ + GetUserDefaultUILanguage()
Root of BA\ + GetSystemDefaultUILanguage()
Root of BA\

Hello,
I created a bootstrapper with WiX that includes four different
localizations (English, German, French, and Dutch).
But I actually wonder, how the bootstrapper detects and determine the
language to display the UI. When the bootstrapper runs on an English
OS,
it's in English. When run on a German OS, it's in German. However, it
seems
that it totally ignores all system regional settings, i.e. if I run it
on
an English OS, it's in English, no matter what I set in the system
settings. Other that using -lang (which works for all four
localizations),
I do not get another language than the original OS one.
Is this a bug? Is this behavior by design? It there any option/setting
to
influence this? Do I have to adapt WiX source code for this?
Thanks for any insights on this.
