file. however this custom action has to be run as a 64bit process which it
does now.
so I need to run the custom 64bit exe file during install before copyin

the non-English ones.

however I need to get rid of the custom burn ui so that only the msi ui is
displayed. this goes for the uninstal
basically I have 6 different localized msi. I want to have one msi/exe
that selects the correct one based on some logic.
(the logic contacts a website to get some json identifying the correct
