When an installation is suspended, properties that have already been setup are retained, so what you see is by design (text straight from the DB is transformed, text from properties is not). You need to either complete the previous installation or roll it back.

MSI (c) (80:CC) [17:12:52:556]: Suspended install detected. Resuming. ... MSI (c) (80:CC) [17:12:52:556]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying TRANSFORMS property. Its current value is ':en-us.mst'. Its new value: ':fr-fr.mst'. So looks like MSI recognized a failed attempt of previous install and try to resume previous install but not able to properly apply the original fr-fr.mst transform and ended up with a mix of English and French text in the dialog box. Is there anyway to tell MSI to cleanup previous failed suspended install and do a clean install? John Leung -----Original Message----- From: Leung, John C.H. Sent: June-02-10 5:43 PM To: 'wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: Issue with applying language transform after a hard reset Hi, I have created an installer that support multiple languages using transform mst for each language. So during install, we have the command line: msiexe.exe /i test.msi TRANSFORMS=:fr-fr.mst The installer basically works with the normal workflow. However, I've just been informed by our QA tester that during the install, if they did a hard reset for their PC, and then after reboot, they run the install with a new language, say: msiexe.exe /i test.msi TRANSFORMS=:en-us.mst Then they notice that during this second install, the status dialog box will have English (the second install) for text, title, buttons, etc, but the Status message itself remains in French (the first original install attempt). Is this a problem with WiX or Windows Installer itself? Did Windows Installer leave behind any info in the registry and making it failed to fully apply the transform after a force reset? Have anyone seen this before? Any help is appreciated.
