How can I set the language for my setup.exe?

[Michael Gasser]

Hello....

I create native single file setups with Installaware. When I right-click on the setup file and then choose properties => details, I see that the language is set to English (US).

Is it possible to select in the design mode of Installaware that the language of "my app" is set in the setup file instead of English? Or can I set somewhere in the design mode the language of the setup file?

Thank you very much.

This question also applies to InstallAware Multi Platform.

Please check the built-in Multi-Lingual Setups sample - it contains some ideas!

Hello John,

Thank you for your response.

I believe I did not phrase my question well.

Let me try again. I am publishing my app myapp.exe only in German. I set the file property language of myapp.exeto $0807 = "German (Switzerland)". I.e. when I right-click on myapp.exe, it shows under Details -> Language "German (Switzerland)".

My setup.exefile created with Installaware is localized - language German. Everything is OK. However, when I right-click on the setup.exe file, it shows under Details -> Language "English (US)".

I know that I can change this property with external tools. My question is: Can it be done directly in Installaware? That is, can I set the file property Language (of setup.exe) to $0807 = "German (Switzerland)" in Installaware?

Sounds like that's not supported.

Technically (at the engine level) all setups are multi-lingual with dynamic runtime switching, so that's probably why?
