Please check out the following web page. This describes how to create multi-language msi packages without setup.exe launcher. http://www.installsite.org/pages/en/msi/articles/embeddedlang/index.htm
You could try the following step The following is the steps. Please try the step 4 instead of creating a bootstrapper. 1. Build your msi package for language English. Set the ProductLanguage property to "1033". 2. Build a language transform for German UI. This transform must set the ProductLanguage property to "1031". 3. Embed the language transform in the .msi file. This can be done using the wisubstg.vbs script that's included in the Windows Installer SDK. Use the following command line: 4. wisubstg.vbs <path to .msi> <Path to transform> <name of sub-storage> 5. Use the Language Id (1031 for German in this sample) as name of the sub-storage. 6. Update the Summary Information Stream to list all supported languages of this package. If your MSI authoring tool added a language code of 0 to the summary information stream remove it. 7. Correct: "1033,1031" 8. Wrong: "0,1033,1031" 9. You can use the WiLangId.vbs script from the Windows Installer SDK for this purpose, using the following command line: 10. WiLangId.vbs <path to .msi> Package 1033,1031 11. To test your package, go to the "Regional and Language Options" applet in Control Panel. On the "Regional Options" tab switch the language to German (see screenshot below). Click Apply. Double click your .msi file. Your setup will now launch with German UI. Restore the language selection to English. Now your setup will run in English.
