We had a similar problem. When using the transform trick, the initial language of the msi package has to be the language of the system (regional settings -> location) or the transforming won't find the right mst file...
Solution: set the Package Languages field to "0".

It runs on most PCs, however, lately I experienced a strange problem on a dutch OS where it seems to require an English transform file. I thought all this information is automatically merged with the msi file? Product Language is 1033. Package Languages are set to 1031,1033. I do not use any special compiler/linker options and no transform files at all. The log file is quite short: DEBUG: Error 2203: Database: 1033. Cannot open database file. System error -2147287038 1: 2203 2: 1033 3: -2147287038 Fout tijdens het toepassen van transforms. Controleer dat de opgegeven transformpaden geldig zijn. 1033 MSI (c) (DC:50) [17:18:04:072]: Product: DCAMCUT 6.0 for SolidWorks -- Installation failed. The dutch error message means: "Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid." Does anyone have an idea what to do?
