Hi,
        You would have to write a small app that allows your user to
select a language then spawns msiexec with the correct transform.

You could then call this app from your bootstrapper setup.exe, just
change the @ApplicationFile attribute to the name of your language
selection application in the GenerateBootstrapper element in your
msbuild project.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Distributing multi-language installer


I have gotten transforms to work when executing the .msi files by
themselves (which do not install the prerequisites - SQL, Framework,
Windows Installer), but I have yet to figure out a way to execute the
bootstrapper setup.exe with a tranform specified such that the after it
is run, it will execute the setup.msi with the proper transform
passed/applied.

I can execute the following for the MSI using this command and the text
displays in german:
msiexec /i setup.msi TRANSFORMS=de-de.mst

But I would like to be able to execute the setup.exe (so prereqs are
installed), and after that is complete, the setup.msi is executed with
the Transform parameter specified.

msiexec /i setup.exe TRANSFORMS=de-de.mst

Is something like this even possible for executing an exe bootstrapper
using msiexec?
