Overried Select Language Dialog with Command Line Parameter

Is there a command line parameter I can pass to my installer exe that will allow me to override the initial "Select a language" dialog? If my install is run on it's own, I want to allow the user to select their language. But if my install is invoked by another installer, I want to be able to supress this language dialog and instead, allow the invoking installer to pass me the UserLangaugeID code as a command line parameter.

I looked at some documentation for MsiExec.exe and say this:

/j [UserLanguageID]

but this did not seem to work. Maybe I am using it incorrectly or is there another way?

Re: Overried Select Language Dialog with Command Line Parameter

Hi,

For the EXE bootstrapper you can use the /exelang parameter to set the installation language through the command line. Please note that this will work only if the installation is launched through the EXE and it uses a language selection dialog (when running with full UI).
