You need to use a bootstrapper (an EXE designed for running one or more installation packages) that will pass the appropriate language property to the MSI at install-time.
WiX 3.5 will have a bootstrapper called Burn, but it's still under development right now.

Subject: [WiX-users] Single msi with multi languages installs according to OS display language Hello, I want to make a single msi with multi languages including en-us, de-de, zh-cn, etc. When the msi is installed, it installs according to OS display language. By following instructions at "9.1 Morphing Installers" at http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson9.php#9.1. I can do it manually like below: torch -p -t language "en-us\MMM.msi" "de-de\MMM.msi" -out de-de.mst EmbedTransform "en-us\MMM.msi" de-de.mst msiexec /i "en-us\MMM.msi" TRANSFORMS=":de-de.mst" If I want the msi choose language automatically according to the current OS display language. Do you know how can I achieve it?
