[WiX-users] How does WiX bootstrapper determine UI language

2012-09-21 Thread Harald Dersch
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.

It probes like this:

Root of BA\ + GetUserDefaultUILanguage()
Root of BA\ + GetSystemDefaultUILanguage()
Root of BA\
