[alfrqan]

I am reading from a file the language of the program
the file which i am reading from it has some other information and i need to patch it
the problem i can not replace it since i read information from it while installing
any idea?

Dear Alfrqan,

I'm not quite sure to follow the exact sequence where you read and then you need to update that file.

Anyway, you could make a temporary copy of it and then replace the original file once the installation is completed.

- I think there must be close function after reading.
- I think Installaware should support UCS 16.since it is using very old unicode currently...
+ -Installaware is not able to replace files if exist currently in installaware 15 while on Installaware 9 it is fine_please check this
-IF IT is possible to add check if registry key exists would be good as well

Dear Alfrqan,

I think there must be close function after reading.

It is not necessary, IA does all the required operations automatically.

I think Installaware should support UCS 16.since it is using very old unicode currently...

I still don't understand what do you mean with UCS 16. Maybe UTF-16?
If true, this is not possible with earlier IA versions that do not support UNICODE.

-Installaware is not able to replace files if exist currently in installaware 15 while on Installaware 9 it is fine_please check this

...Please try to clarify.

-IF IT is possible to add check if registry key exists would be good as well

It is already available... use "Check Registry" command.
