[wix-devs] MsiE2E Issue

[Sean Hall]

The end-to-end tests are concerned about runtime behavior. Localization is
a build-time feature, so no one has invested the time to support it in the
E2E tests yet. I'm not sure why this should be a blocker since it should be
very easy to change your test's MSI to not use localization.
