[wix-devs] MsiE2E Issue

[Ron Martin]

Sean,

Thanks for responding. So, I take it that PackageInstaller was not 
specified to enable the testing of
localization. I had no trouble getting localization to work, but the 
test has been giving me grief. I'll
remove the test. Perhaps we can add this improvement as a goal for some 
specific future version
of Wix.
