Ok. So here a more complete explanation. Be clement, more english is poor. The bootstrapper is installed in system-context, so UserLanguageID can't work. I need to search the user language by parsing HKUSERS and Volatile Enviroment to find the Logonuser. This task needs to be done with a custom action. Since few months that's the way i did it. Another solution ?
The first disappointment is that burn doesn't accept custom action. That's what i read. And I tried without success. No of execution in log. Let's say i have 4 languages with each one a msi and mst. i thought putting a launchcondition with this custom action. The packagegroup will have these 4 msi with no condition but vital=no. So each installation is attempted but only the right one will go on with a good condition. It was ok but not a good way to do things. Failed installation would'nt have been trapped. Then, i tried to convert this custom action (vbs) in a binary and executing it in the first sequence of the bundle. This exe slightly modified put the key in HKUSERS... in HKLM\Software\[WixBundleName]. Next, i tried use a registrysearch and use the result in condition for each language's msi. Ok but RegistrySearch didn't find anything because ExePackage wasn't executed. The second disappointment was that bundle's conditions (here MsiPackage) are evalued before any installation begins. This would have been the solution. I discover that parameters to bundle can be used with MsiPackage. But in this case i'd need for conditions... Ok, what about HKUSERS\.DEFAULT, i wondered. But MachinePreferredUILanguages's value in a REG_MULTI_SZ.. I would dig Ramirez's book if i could find how to incorpore a custom action in a custom bundle. But maybe my approach is wrong. Anyway, i didn't find a way to make a suitable bundle. As my experience in Wix is small, i'd love to hear that there is a simplier approach and a good solution. Using UserLanguageID ? :) Thanks.
