I've compiled a very simple installer in english using the WIXUI_Mondo dialog set. When executing the finished installer on a Danish Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10 the built-in folder browser dialog does not show the "Program Files" folder correctly. On a Danish windows the folder should be listed as "c:\programmer" but in the wix ui folder browser dialog its listed as "c:\program files". That's really weird because the "c:\program files" does not even exist!

It becomes even more weird when browsing the c-drive folder structure side-by-side using both a file explorer and wix installer folder dialog browser. In the file explorer c:\programmer is listed as expected but in wix "c:\program files" is listed. It's looks like the WIXUI translates the folder structure to English on the fly.

Just found out that this "bug" is a general plague in windows. All sort of applications in english that uses some kind of folder browser dialog has this flaw when used in a Danish windows installation. So i guess there is no solution.
