My comment was based primarily on  this thread
<http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Deploying-multiple-cultures-using-Burn-MSI-s-Wix-3-9-issue-td7596896.html>
  
where I detailed two concerns which I observed after using
embedTransform.exe, in the maner described  here
<http://wix.tramontana.co.hu/tutorial/transforms/morphing-installers>  , but
I included these MSIs i my Bundle chain.  The scenarios that I encountered
are related to that fact that Burn fingerprints each MSI at build time, but
at runtime when the embedded MSI transforms are applied they changed the
ProductID (and possibly other details which Burn uses to fingerprint the
MSI) causing the observed problems.  Others in the forum indicated that this
use of Burn is unsupported.   I have seen this topic come up in other
threads with similar indication that Burn does not currently support this
scenario and that there may be an open feature request in this area.

Also in  thist thread

, linked above, Tobias that he adds the transforms to the Bundle chain
rather than embeding them in the MSI.  I did not try that approach, so I
cannot provide more details on that approach.  I am sure that there may be
other approaches.
