Hello,

I use WiX before, but am completely unexperienced with burn.

I have build localized .msi packages. I have further read that one can 
build a transform (mst) that is more-or-less a diff file between the 
localized .msi packages and run msiexec with command line arguments that 
will combine a base .msi package and a .mst at runtime and use the 
desired installation language. One can embed the .mst in the msi with 
EmbedTransform so that one only need to pass the command line arguments 
to msiexec. But command line arguments are not the user experience I 
want to offer.

I just want to build a thing that detects the installation UI by looking 
at the localization of the operating system or probably asking the user 
for the installation language. After this is done I want to exec msiexec 
with the required arguments to use the selected language. It's not 
required the the .mst is embedded in the .msi. To be honest I would like 
to skip this.

I assume this should be a FAQ. Therefore I would like to know is there 
any mini example for installation user interface selection (from running 
OS or user input) that shows how to implement this with burn?

Regards
Helge
