Description

**What are you trying to do?**
Deploy JRE via GPO Software Installation.

**Expected behaviour:**
Installer should install without further changes, much like vcredist*.msi.

**Observed behaviour:**
Installer either does not install at all or in Chinese. MSI itself identifies as chinese, needs to have "Ignore language when deploying this package" but then it's in Chinese.

**Any other comments:**
Installing a runtime should not require a MST transform or specific language selection. Please use system locale if possible.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the MSI deployment through GPO and compare its language behavior with vcredist*.msi, including the effect of “Ignore language when deploying this package.” Done means the runtime installs without an MST transform or specific language selection and uses the system locale where possible.
