The solution with transforms can be easily done with WiX and a few available
tools from Microsoft (actually, I started to write a replacement utility
instead of those MS ones, after all they do nothing else but call MSI API
function themselves; I came stuck at one point but I no longer remember where
and why, I would need to dig up the code; of course, if it would work, it would
be contributed to the project itself). Even the undocumented and discouraged
part of it can be done with WiX if you chose to do so. I left it out from the
tutorial on purpose, after having asked Rob about the issue.
But even with the documented way, it's a ten-minute job to come up with a
single dialog bootstrapper in your favorite programming environment that offers
a listbox of all the languages you provide in your installation, checks the
system language and sets it as default, then at the touch of an OK button calls
msiexec /i SampleMulti.msi TRANSFORMS="fr-fr.mst"
with the appropriate names of the transforms hardwired.
