Using Package Languages to define the supported languages and embedded each supported language into the master msi is working fine for me. Here is what i have done:
For example, i have Package Languages set to 1031,1033. Suppose I will use 1033 as my Master msi. for 1033, I have the following settings <WixLocalization Culture="en-us" Codepage="0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/localization";> <String Id="ProductLanguage" Localizable="no">1033</String> <String Id="LanguageCodePage" Localizable="no">0</String> </WixLocalization> and for 1031, i have the following settings <WixLocalization Culture="de-de" Codepage="1252" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/localization";> <String Id="ProductLanguage" Localizable="no">1031</String> <String Id="LanguageCodePage" Localizable="no">1252</String> </WixLocalization> Now after compiling both the MSIs for 1033 and 1031. I will create an mst for 1031 and apply this transform to MSI for 1033. Doing this, the MSI is working fine with me on all locales and english resources are displayed on all locales except for 1031 (german resources are displayed in this case). And to add on this, If i run the MSI for 1033 without applying 1031 transform, it will give me an error that cannot find a transform to apply. Becuase in the Package Languages we set 1031 and 1033...so the msi is looking for a transform to run on 1031 if 1033 is the master MSI. I hope this will help.
