I believe this string is coming from the msiexec runtime, i.e. from the operating system. It's not in your .msi because it's displayed while your .msi file loads.

That is it.
I am on simplified chinese windows system, and my msi is based on uisample.msi, Could you please tell me what field to change, so that system can display chinese string for "Preparing to install...." during the msiexec runtime?
Thanks a lot!

Yes, Stefan is right, it's coming from system, from msi.dll unless I'm wrong.
You will need to localize language in msi _SummaryInfo table and then the message will appear localized.

Is your locale (system and user) set to Chinese?

The locale is right set to Simplified Chinese. and I try to use IS to set the Codepage in Summary Information to "936", while the splash screen keep on displaying English.
It is strange............

Does this only happen if you launch setup via setup.exe or also if yu double click the .msi file? In thge latter case it must eb an operating system/MSI runtime issue.

This should be set to 2052 which is LCID for Simplified Chinese and not to a codepage.
Hope this helps.

I've just modified my MSI package and change the code page field in Summary Info to 2052 as you've mentioned. However, it does not work. When I tried to install the msi package, the system will remind me this is a corrupted MSI package. Once I changed the field back to 1252 or 936, the MSI package could work again.
Besides, I also tried to look LCID in the MSDN website, it seems that, according to MSDN, there is no 2052 LCID.
Any idea?

Sorry Robert for confusion.
You were right about the codepage, it should be set to 936 for CHS. What I had in mind was actually the template summary property, which should be ;2052. You can set this property using Orca for example.

We plan to install msi file on differently locale, now we know for Chinese is the code is 2052, while where can we find the corresponding code for other locales, such as japanese?
Thanks a lot!

Here you go Robert:
List of LCID values from MS
Hope, you're not working for some of the major localization competitors in localization industry...
just kidding here
Glad to hear you've solved you problem.
