If the payloads weren't laid out correctly, shouldn't selecting the language explicitly via -lang fail as well (as I wrote, this works perfectly)?
Since the official WiX documentation describes localizing the standard bootstrapper application rather sparsely, the layout may be indeed not correct. Here is the respective snippet from my wxs: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; xmlns:bal="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/BalExtension";> <Bundle ... > <WixVariable Id="WixStdbaThemeXml" Value="Resources\layout.xml"/> <BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense"> <bal:WixStandardBootstrapperApplication LogoFile="Resources\Welcome.png" LicenseFile="Resources\1033\license.rtf" SuppressOptionsUI="yes" /> <Payload Compressed="yes" Id="thm-de-DE" Name="1031\thm.wxl" SourceFile="Resources\1031\thm.wxl" /> <Payload Compressed="yes" Id="thm-en-US" Name="1033\thm.wxl" SourceFile="Resources\1033\thm.wxl" /> <Payload Compressed="yes" Id="thm-fr-FR" Name="1036\thm.wxl" SourceFile="Resources\1036\thm.wxl" /> <Payload Compressed="yes" Id="thm-nl-NL" Name="1043\thm.wxl" SourceFile="Resources\1043\thm.wxl" /> <Payload Compressed="yes" Id="lic-de-DE" Name="1031\license.rtf" SourceFile="Resources\1031\license.rtf" /> <Payload Compressed="yes" Id="lic-en-US" Name="1033\license.rtf" SourceFile="Resources\1033\license.rtf" /> <Payload Compressed="yes" Id="lic-fr-FR" Name="1036\license.rtf" SourceFile="Resources\1036\license.rtf" /> <Payload Compressed="yes" Id="lic-nl-NL" Name="1043\license.rtf" SourceFile="Resources\1043\license.rtf" /> </BootstrapperApplicationRef> <Chain> <!-- List of chained packages. --> </Chain> </Bundle> </Wix> The folder 'Resources' contains language-neutral resources, such as the layout and the background image. Within there are subfolders named like the respective LCID, i.e. '1033' for English, '1031' for German, ... Does this explain anything?
