Do the files you're trying to create in your command already exist on
this PC? That would make the create database command fail.
Or are you saying that even on the same PC, the same command with the
same paths works in SSMS but fails in your MSI? Forgive me if you've
already covered this.
You must add a torch task to the AfterBuild target in the wixproj file.
Following a description assuming you are using VS2010 English, your
solution is called MySetupProject and you want to create for an
english MSI the needed MSTs:
Solution Explorer - Choose the Setup Project - Right click -

I'm trying to implement this. This seems to require that the en-US is built
first.
How do I make this happen?

you must build all languages of the MSI pacakge from one project.
Think there is no additional modification necessary as the AfterBuild
target starts when there already exist the different MSIs (e.g.
en-US\MySetupProject.msi, de-DE\MySetupProject.msi and
ja-JP\MySetupProject.msi).

Are there any additional hidden gems (undocumented tasks)to do the

Nice. Too bad there doesn't seem to be a way to do through Votive's UI (
Project Properties ). I'll give it a try and see how it works for me.

Have a hot tip, know a secret or read a really good thread that deserves
attention?
Nope don't think so as WiSubStg.vbs + WiLangId.vbs are part of the
Windows SDK and WiX will use Burn for Multilanguage Bootstrapper
installers. And as the Transform Embedding is undocumented I don't
assume WiX will write wrappers for such a purpose.
To do so you must e.g. write an own C# task
