Basic MSI: ProductLanguage of installed product.
Hi.
How can I get the ProductLanguage of an installed Basic MSI product from an application?
Can I use MsiGetProductProperty or any other MSI API calls?
Thanks

Will MsiGetProductInfo + INSTALLPROPERTY_LANGUAGE work?

Thanks Robert, that seems to work basically.
But it always returns 0 for the language of my installed project, instead of 1033 or 1031 or any other supported language of my project.
Maybe I´ve done something wrong?

Hmmm, no, I don't think you're doing anything wrong. The technique seems to work for a single-language package, but since a multi-language package created by InstallShield is a base package plus a bunch of language transforms, it seems the base package is registered as language-neutral.
MsiGetProductInfo + INSTALLPROPERTY_TRANSFORMS lists the applied language transform (where the language code is part of the file name), though of course takes a bit of care to parse out the language code.
Cleverer ideas gratefully received...
