Unable to deploy lables/Resource DLL specific to different language during on prem CSU package and Store commerce package install

Hello @lukedgr, @madyke: I have updated the project file of my OnPrem Scale Unit Installer with the following snippet:

<Target Name="LinkResourceFilesInPackage" BeforeTargets="RetailInstallerFrameworkCopyFilesToIntermediateOutputPath" DependsOnTargets="PrepareProjectReferences;ValidateProjectConfiguration;Compile;">
  <ItemGroup>
    <_ResourceFileAssemblies Include="..\CommerceRuntime\bin\$(Configuration)\net6.0\**\Contoso.EFRSample.CommerceRuntime.resources.dll" />
  </ItemGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <ZipFiles Include="@(_ResourceFileAssemblies->'%(FullPath)')">
      <Link>%(_ResourceFileAssemblies.RecursiveDir)%(_ResourceFileAssemblies.Filename)%(_ResourceFileAssemblies.Extension)</Link>
    </ZipFiles>
  </ItemGroup>
</Target>

Running the installer results in the same error as in https://github.com/microsoft/Dynamics365Commerce.Solutions/issues/174#issuecomment-1787709273. Somehow the binding redirects are missing.

Adding the original binding redirects does not help

Also the snipped in comment https://github.com/microsoft/Dynamics365Commerce.Solutions/issues/174#issuecomment-1777954385 for the Store Commerce Installer does not work. The file size of the installer is reduced and when executing it no installation is performed.

Start with the OnPrem Scale Unit Installer project file and its LinkResourceFilesInPackage target, then run the reported installer command while inspecting the generated package contents and binding redirects. Compare the approach with the referenced issue 174 comments. Done means the language-specific resource DLL is included and both the on-premises and Store Commerce installers complete without assembly-load errors.
