Hi, My installer is MUI-based MSI file. In other words, the user can use this MSI file to install the product on machines having different locales and the installer wizard will show localed text. For example, the installer shows english string for a machine having en-US locale and shows japanese string for a machine having ja-JP locale.
Here is how we make this MUI-based MSI file: Step 1: Build en-US (1033) loc locale msi Step 2: Build ja-JP (1041) locale msi Step 3: Generate MSI Transform files which transform en-us locale to other locales (using torch.exe). Step 4: Create MUI-based MSI using the transform files. The process of building the MSP file is standard which builds PCP file first and then generates the MSP file using msimsp.exe. Since the MSI file is MUI-based, I think the MSP file is not also MUI-based. It means this MSP contains multiple language IDs. We created a software update in Microsoft Update author client using this MSP file, But when submitting it to our pubsuite server of Microsoft Update, I got below xml validation error. Microsoft.UpdateServices.Publishing.PublishingXmlException: Invalid schema error in Publishing XML. ---> The 'http://www.microsoft.com/msi/patch_applicability.xsd:TargetLanguage' element is invalid - The value '1033,1041' is invalid according to its datatype 'http://www.microsoft.com/msi/patch_applicability.xsd:ValidateLanguage' - The string '1033,1041' is not a valid Int32 value.

Does anybody have experience on making Microsoft Update work with a MUI-based MSP? Appreciate so much!
