Description
The problem here is that we removed l10n transforms as part of the MSI redesign. This is fine for install because the UE is handled by the wrappers. But for uninstall, it shows the basic UI ProgressData dialog, and it is now never localized.

justification: all UNinstallers are currently English only, which is a regression from 1.8. This is a low/med risk fix that involves no message drop work. crucible: https://java.se.oracle.com/code/cru/CR-JDK9CLIENT-345
