Try this

Run the command MSIEXEC /X

Notice the same message. No installer is involved. Message is coming
from MSIEXEC.EXE or other Windows components associated with it. Message
is not coming from an installer. It's using a slightly different code
path depending on where you run it from (Command line versus ARP) but
the story is the same. Any localization of that string I'd think would
come from the localized version of Windows itself.

Subject: [WiX-users] Uninstall question

I understand that the uninstall information is store in registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\<
ProductGUID>

And the uninstall string is store in value "UninstallString".

If I actually execute that command (which is "MsiExec.exe
/X{---MyGUID---}), I would get a dialog box asking "Are you sure you
want to uninstall this product?".  I'm wondering are there any way that
dialog box can be localized?

On an XP machine, I notice that if I used the "Add or Remove Programs"
to do the uninstall, I would actually get a different dialog box text:
"Are you sure you want to remove <Product Name> from your computer?"
Does anyone know why it would be different between the two uninstall
approach?  Are there anything I need to do in the WiX setup to make the
two consistent?
