Why not localize the Burn bundle? Can you not utilize one MSI with component
conditions based on language (assuming you have language specific files to
deploy)? Are you trying to show the MSI's UI?
Depending on what your MST changes, you might be able to utilize
SystemLanguageID - gets the language ID for the system locale.
UserLanguageID - gets the language ID for the current user locale.
Passing it to the MSI:
(Assuming you have the MST embedded into the MSI)
<MsiPackage ...>
<MsiProperty Name="TRANSFORM" Value=":[TransformFileName].mst" />
</MsiPackage>
But it may require a custom BA/UX to take the Lang ID's and assign the
TransformFileName variable. From what I remember, the product/upgrade codes
are cached in the bundles manifest, and the engine would not function as
expected if you are changing those via a MST.

Subject: [WiX-users] Adding language transform .mst's to Burn Bundle Chain?
I am creating my first bootstrapper .exe that installs some prerequisites .exe
and then triggers my WiX .msi installer.
This all works ok, only using basic Burn UI, but now I want to look at passing
in language transform .mst to the product .msi and therefore I would like to
know how this is done?
- How do you add the language .mst files to the Bundle Chain (Bootstrapper) so
that they are built into the bundle and exist for the bootstrapper to access?
- And how do we go about detecting the language of the OS and then passing the
correct language .mst to the product .msi?
Any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanks.
